Topic: 2024-Human Trafficking
Country: Cuba
Delegate Name: James Warner
Human trafficking is a crude violation of human rights that is widely condemned and that is known typically as a violation of individuals through force, fraud, or coercion for various inhumane reasons such as labor, sexual exploitation, or involuntary servitude. It is a global dilemma that affects millions, including men, women, and children, and is indiscriminate in location as it happens all across the planet and regardless of socioeconomic backgrounds. The implications of human trafficking are immense, both for the individuals directly correlated and for societies and states worldwide as a whole.
The Cuban government’s policies designed to prevent and diminish human trafficking as well as punitive policies for perpetrators/violators are all lacking in quality and quantity. Human rights as an entire activist body are not recognized as legitimate or vital to society by the Cuban government. In 2023 it was found that the government was the cause for democracy activists deaths in the past. A considerable amount of medical labor exploitation has also been in connection to the funding of the Cuban regime.
Standing from this point forth Cuba intends to put forth legislation proposals in order to chip away at institutionalized exploitation and maltreatment of medical care workers. Cuba also hopes that through legislation building up to aid in the initiative to squash this harm against humanity will set an example for other countries whom are neglecting this vile issue or in some ways contributing to its success and viability as a leader to move forward on a path of retribution especially for those directly affected by trafficking. In addition to trafficking Cuba is optimistic that resolving one human rights matter will lead to human rights being recognized as a whole under the regime.
