Vienna Convention against Trafficking in Persons

The Vienna Convention against Trafficking in Persons, adopted in 2000, is an international agreement aimed at combating human trafficking, particularly for exploitation in labor and sexual purposes. It encourages countries to strengthen laws, improve victim support, and enhance cooperation among nations. The Convention recognizes trafficking as a serious crime that violates human rights and seeks to protect and support victims while preventing this crime. By facilitating collaboration and sharing best practices, the Convention aims to create a coordinated global response to eradicate human trafficking and ensure justice for victims.
