UNODC Helps Viet Nam Combat Human Trafficking1
September 2005
The UN Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC) will help the Vietnamese judicial system and law enforcement agencies improve their capacity to combat human trafficking in Viet Nam. An agreement to this effect was signed by Senior Lieut. Gen. Le The Tiem, Deputy Minister of Public Security, and Narumi Yamada, chief of the UNODC's Viet Nam Representative Office, in Ha Noi on August 26.
Under the deal, the UNODC will conduct the second phase of a project which involves Viet Nam's border-guard force and Ministries of Public Security and Justice. The project aims to strengthen current mechanisms that prevent and combat human trafficking by creating favourable conditions for the judicial and law enforcement agencies, improving criminal investigations, prosecution procedures and judges' skills as well as training officers of related agencies.
