  1. “An effective response to human trafficking cannot be solely limited to criminal prosecution. There must be measures in place to prevent people from falling victim to it. The fight against human trafficking hinges on the establishment of a stable political context conducive to an effective campaign against trafficking in persons through, inter alia, the promotion of and respect for human rights, democracy, good governance, the fight against corruption and impunity, a reduction of social fragility, sustainable development and inclusive growth. Lastly, we must ensure that people residing in refugee camps are registered as a way to fight the threat of human trafficking and to identify instances of trafficking and potential victims.”

  2. “It requires a comprehensive and multisectoral approach and close cooperation among countries of origin, transit and destination to tackle the root causes of people falling victim to trafficking networks. A preventive approach to trafficking is intrinsically linked to our shared goal of sustainable development. In that regard, Morocco reiterates its full commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals under the 2030 Agenda. The Kingdom of Morocco takes this opportunity to emphasize the historic opportunity represented by the convening of the international conference on migration to be held on 10 and 11 September 2018 in the Kingdom of Morocco with a view to contributing to the implementation of the United Nations Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in Persons. To conclude, I would like to stress the following points.”

  3. “Furthermore, at the twenty-sixth session ofthe Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, Morocco presented its six-month action plan for the implementation of the United Nations Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in Persons. We are among the 13 countries that were strategically selected throughout the world to develop and implement national plans to fight smuggling and illicit trafficking in persons. Extreme poverty, inequality, conflict, political and economic instability, human rights violations and the lack of education and prospects create vulnerabilities that criminals exploit. No country can resolve the issue of trafficking alone. The solution cannot rely solely on a security-based approach.”

  4. “Morocco has adopted a series of measures at the national level by updating its legal and institutional frameworks with respect to migration, asylum and human trafficking. Adopted in 2016, our law against human trafficking is further testament to the Kingdom's active commitment. My country has also demonstrated its commitment at the international level by adhering to the main human rights conventions related to the prevention of and fight against human trafficking and the smuggling of migrants, including the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and its Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, which we ratified in April 2011.”

  5. “As one of the three elements of Morocco's new migration policy, adopted in September 2013, the fight against trafficking in persons is a priority with respect to upholding human rights and fighting organized crime. Thanks to our national migration and asylum policy, Morocco has positioned itself at the forefront of our region in the fight against trafficking in persons and smuggling of migrants. The first stage of our policy has led to the regularization of the status of approximately 25,000 migrants. The second stage will capitalize on the success and gains realized during the first stage, and will help to continue to facilitate the integration of migrants as part of an integrated humane approach to sheltering migrants from human trafficking networks and ensuring that the rights of refugees and migrants are upheld on our territory.”

  6. “Mr. El Khadir (Morocco) (spoke in French): At the outset, let me thank the Italian presidency of the Security Council for the month of November, for convening today's open debate and for its choice of the theme "Trafficking in persons in conflict situations". Today's meeting takes place in a context characterized by mass displacements of people, particularly refugees. Fleeing wars and natural disasters, migrants aspire for better futures. Due to their vulnerability, migrants are exposed to the risk of trafficking. We are convinced that today's debate and resolution 2388 (2017), adopted today, will strengthen the international community's resolve to prevent and combat all forms of trafficking in persons.”
