In early 2021, Justice and Care and the McCain Institute for International Leadership at the Arizona State University launched the Global Experts Consortium on Prosecuting Human Trafficking to increase human trafficking investigation and prosecution efforts around the world.

The objectives of the Prosecutors Consortium are to (i) align best available evidence for prosecuting human trafficking cases with a victim-centered approach (ii) develop specific, targeted policy recommendations and (iii) build a vibrant global practitioners’ network of experienced human trafficking prosecutors.  

The Consortium brings together experienced prosecutors and expert advisors from over fifteen countries and 5 international organisations for discussions on best practices in prosecuting human trafficking cases.   

This webinar will enable attendees to develop an understanding of the work of the Consortium and the best practice guidelines that they have developed in relation to the non-punishment principle and for law enforcement to further a victim-centered approach. The experts will also discuss the need for effective networks to tackle MSHT and will consider the links between MSHT and other forms of serious and organised criminal activity.   

This 90-minute webinar will be held in English and no interpretation will be provided. However, attendees can access live automated translated captions via the Zoom platform during the webinar.  All attendees will receive a certificate of attendance. The webinar is open to all IAP organisational and individual members.

Please note that this webinar will be recorded.

We look forward to welcoming you at the webinar!
