Criminal Research on Human Trafficking
The activities of the Center for Criminal Research and Training in Libya focused on developing response mechanisms to human trafficking crimes, especially when the victims are children and women. The training, conducted in cooperation with the French Experts Foundation and guided by international experts, reviewed methods used to recruit and exploit these victims, such as coercion, debt manipulation, and threats, with emphasis on circumstances involving disability, poverty, or prior abuse. Participants discussed ways to gather diverse evidence, including documentary, digital, and medical evidence, while ensuring a safe environment for obtaining information from victims. They also highlighted the importance of adhering to international standards to protect victims' rights and minimize psychological trauma during investigations. The training aims to enhance the capacity of criminal justice to identify and protect trafficking victims, emphasizing that reliance should not be solely on victims' testimonies—especially children and women—and that their specific needs should be considered throughout judicial procedures.
