Agenda setting of the work of the Special Rapporteur 2015, para. 43
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- A number of initiatives have been launched to combat trafficking in persons in the Asia-Pacific region, including the Convention on Preventing and Combating Trafficking in Women and Children for Prostitution, adopted by the States members of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation in 2002. In addition, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) launched its first programme, the Asia Regional Cooperation to Prevent People Trafficking Project (2003-2006), which was implemented by the Government of Australia. The Project focused on criminal justice responses to trafficking in partner countries. Following its success, the Project was extended in 2011 as the Asia Regional Trafficking in Persons Project. ASEAN also adopted the ASEAN Declaration Against Trafficking in Persons Particularly Women and Children (2004), followed by the adoption of a work plan to implement the Declaration. An ASEAN convention on trafficking in persons and a regional plan of action are expected to be finalized and adopted in 2015.
