Due diligence and trafficking in persons 2015, para. 31
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- In addition to the obligation to conduct a domestic investigation into events occurring on their own territories, due diligence also means that States have a "duty in cross-border trafficking cases to cooperate effectively with the relevant authorities of other States concerned in the investigation of events which occurred outside their territories." In order to comply with the exterritorial implementation of due diligence obligations, States should also, for example, incorporate extraterritorial jurisdiction into national legislation criminalizing trafficking and strengthen protections against trafficking in contracting or procurement practices for activities abroad. For example, Belize's Trafficking in Persons (Prohibition) Act 2013 gives extraterritorial jurisdiction if trafficking is committed by a Belizean national or a person who is resident in Belize. The present mandate holder has also previously emphasized the need to "extend the national legislative prohibition on trafficking in persons for the removal of organs and related offences extraterritorially, irrespective of the legal status of the relevant acts in the country in which they occur."
