Human Trafficking

Submission of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees on the Criminal Code Amendment (Trafficking of Persons Offences) Bill 2004

Submitted February 2005

The submission raises concern that the proposed amendments in the Criminal Code Amendment Bill 2004 do not make explicit reference to asylum seekers or refugees.  There is a risk that through this omission, the legislation could overlook the possibility that there could be asylum seekers or refugees among traffickers and/ or victims of trafficking.
