The issue of trafficking in persons for the removal of organs 2013, para. 50
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- The legal framework around trafficking in persons can also be effectively leveraged to tackle the phenomenon of transplant tourism by extending the jurisdictional reach of national criminal laws. While a State party to the Trafficking in Persons Protocol is required to exercise jurisdiction over trafficking in persons for the removal of organs when the offence is committed in its territory (see art. 15 (1) of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime), it may choose to extend that jurisdiction to situations where the offence is committed outside its territory against or by one of its nationals (see art. 15 (2)). Other central obligations that derive from both the Protocol and the Convention include an obligation to provide appropriate assistance to and protection of victims, including measures for physical, psychological and social recovery (art. 6); an obligation to establish policies, programmes and other measures to prevent and combat trafficking and protect victims (art. 9); an obligation of cross-border cooperation between law enforcement agencies and an obligation on States to strengthen capacity for such cooperation (art. 10); and an obligation to strengthen border controls to prevent and detect trafficking in persons for the removal of organs (art. 11).
