Commutheathn received fmm UNMIK
439. By letter chted 9 June 2004, UNMIK transmitted the following information relating to
human trafficking in tie country
490. UNMIK has carefullystudied the recent rejxntbyAmnestylntemalionalwhich fi:cutes
on a problem that concerts all of the BalMns - human trafficking, incliding the traffrckirg of
women for prostitution, On the one hand, UNMIK cannot endor some of the rep:srt's findings,
which axe basedonoutdaledstalislicsfrom the first years of UNMK's mission andbefore
UNMEIC had fully mobilized its efforts to deal with this problem. Nevertheless, UNMIC fully
accepts many of the recommendations made in tie rep rt a number of which have aheadybeen
implemented or axe in tie process of being implemented.
491. UNMEIC recognird the dimensions of the problem earlybut lacked the neces ry legal
and inslitulional tools to address it effectively at the outset. Consequently, UNMIK established a
comprehensive plicyto systematicallyaddress this problem, with the full supprt of KFOR,
through a mullificeted approach containing six elements: (1) prioritizing human trafficking in
the overall fight against organized crime; (2) “zero tolerance” enforcement against traffickers
and pm s; (3) a strong human rights framework to protect and a ist victims; (4) strict
enforcement againstviolatois among UNMIK staff, (5) a regional approach to addressing the
prthlem of human trafficking within the framework of international cooreration; (6)
sustainability through local involvement in a multidimensional approach.
492. First, as pert of the overall fight against orEaniztd crime, the ue of human trafficking
has been prioriti2tdlxcause it is the mcst visible element of organized crime that continuously
provides resources to oFrators and also becau of the strong Imman dimension of the problem.
In January2001, UNMIK promulgated a comprehensive Regulation ‘On the Prohibition of
Trafficking in Pemns in Kosovo” that defined the crime and laid down stringent punishments
for offenders. Several other legal inslnments e ential to tie fight against oiganized crime,
inchding trafficking, have al been put in place. The relevant provisions of the Regulations
have been included in the new Provisional Criminal Code and Provisional Criminal Procedure
Code of Ko vo tint came into effect on 6 April 2004.
