The Republic of the United Mexican States wishes to inform the definition of what human trafficking is, it’s the illegal transport of humans for the benefit of the captors in the ways of work or service. In 2003 signed a protocol, the United Nations Protocol against Trafficking in Persons, many member states of the UN have implemented the report but some states still lack the necessary legal instruments or political will. Many of these UN countries and others suffer from these two main forms of trafficking, sexual exploitation and forced labor. 97% of all human trafficking comes from these two forms.
The Republic of the United Mexican States has worked to eliminate human trafficking from prosecution of suspects and convicting more traffickers. Mexico and its officials try their hardest to limit trafficking across the country. Mexico signed the United Nations Protocol against Trafficking in Persons back in 2003. The past years since the signing, human trafficking has been down, but still high due to not yet being able to fully disband trafficking.
In the future Mexico wishes to fully end human trafficking in the country. But Mexico must have a few things before then. The republic needs to have safety for the victims, and the ability to prosecute the traffickers. Finally Mexico needs to have support from all branches to end trafficking.
