Activities

In August 2003, the Government of Vietnam and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) signed a project document entitled "Strengthening of the Legal and Law Enforcement Institutions in Preventing and Combating Trafficking in Persons in Vietnam."

Current Activities:

The UNODC office in Vietnam is currently working on Phase II of the Project (2005-2007) in cooperation with the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Justice and Border Army. The project’s main objective is to increase detection, investigation, and prosecuting capacities and training of the law enforcement and the judiciary (Police, Immigration, Surveillance Department of the Border Army, Prosecution and Courts) regarding human trafficking.

The project will build on the lessons learned, training material and curricula etc. developed under phase I of the project, and expand its scope and beneficiaries. The project document and its objectives are in line with the UNODC Strategic Programme Framework on Drugs and Crime for Vietnam 2003-2007, with the guiding principles of UNODC’s Operational Priorities and consistent with the approved biennial 2004-2005 programme budget for trafficking in human beings.
