1. “Romania will contribute fully to the thematic sessions and to negotiations on the Global Compact, given the need for a comprehensive and cross-cutting approach to all forms of human mobility, without losing sight of the potential for abuses. In all issues related to trafficking, prevention plays a key role. Romania, too, has confronted human trafficking networks for many years, although they are not necessarily linked to conflict situations. Our anti-trafficking agency, the main institution at the national level, pays particular attention to prevention campaigns, protection and assistance to victims. We are also focusing on helping victims of trafficking recover and their reintegration into normal life. Romania remains firmly committed to every effort to fight human trafficking in all situations.”

2. “Therefore, with respect to terrorist groups, we must adapt our tools and mechanisms against the traffic to their versatile and flexible structures. The United Nations process under way currently, including the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, could help to target our common response to the object of our debate today. The General Assembly's high-level review of the Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in Persons in October will be a good opportunity in that regard. The same applies to the upcoming negotiations on the global compact for safe, orderly and regular migration, dealing with trafficking in migrants and contemporary forms of slavery.”

3. “We need to consider this in further depth in order to address together the causes and effects of trafficking in persons in conflict situations. We must make full use of all existing mechanisms for fighting money-laundering and financing of terrorism in order to expose traffickers, prosecute them, freeze their assets and to stop these illegal flows. The response to human trafficking must be robust and occur on several levels: security, law enforcement, the protection of persons and accountability. Human trafficking in conflict situations undermines the rule of law and leads to the development of other forms of organized crime. It therefore has the potential to further increase insecurity in the region. The fight against the activities of non-State actors using legal and institutional mechanisms is becoming difficult.”

4. “Mrs. Vasilescu (Romania) (spoke in French): I would like to commend the United Kingdom presidency of the Security Council for having convened this open debate. This is a timely discussion of a crucial issue with global repercussions. No State Member of the United Nations can escape the contemportary scourge oftrafficking in the most precious commodities: dignity and human life. Romania supports the statement to be delivered by the observer of the European Union, and I express our firm commitment to the Union's efforts to combat human trafficking, modern slavery and other forms of exploitation linked to trafficking. Resolution 2331 (2016), adopted last December, provides an excellent framework to continue to make progress in this area.”
