1. “has further made extensive use of its Displacement Tracking Matrix tool to assess the exposure to trafficking along migratory routes and to measure the risk to trafficking faced by actual and potential victims in camps and crisis-affected communities. The International Organization for Migration strongly supports the Council's efforts to eliminate human trafficking in conflict situations and hopes that the Council will take into account the humanitarian dimension of crisis-induced human trafficking. In closing, I want to say that I welcome the adoption of Security Council 2331 (2016) today, and we stand ready to support the Council in that regard.”

2. “Employing counter-trafficking measures in crises settings helps to prevent individuals from falling victim to highly exploitative practices that can seriously impair their physical or psychological well- being and potentially endanger their lives. In that regard, the International Organization for Migration, in close cooperation with its humanitarian partners, has consistently been working on the issue of human trafficking and exploitation in crisis settings, and has already operationalized its response through the integration of the protection and assistance of crisis-affected trafficking victims into humanitarian responses as lifesaving measures.

3. “Research on that topic has consistently found evidence that emergency situations exacerbate pre-existing risks to human trafficking and create additional ones that are specific to the crisis setting. Human trafficking in conflict situations is often a consequence of the erosion of the rule of law, the desperation of individuals following the disruption of economic activities, or the potential intrusion by criminal networks into refugee camps and camps for internally displaced persons. We need to collectively understand that counter- trafficking efforts in emergencies are a matter of life and death.”

4. “Mr. El Nour: I am pleased to take the floor on behalf of the International Organization for Migration (IOM). I would like to start by thanking Spain and the Security Council for convening this ministerial open debate on the topic "Trafficking in persons in conflict situations". The international community has increasingly focused on the topic of human trafficking in the past decade. However, the crime of human trafficking, which results in horrendous human rights violations, remains largely overlooked in emergency situations. In my brief intervention, I would like to address the question of how we can work together to confront human trafficking in conflicts, how to better implement robust victim identification mechanisms and how humanitarian action can effectively support the victims of human trafficking.”
