This paper presents proposals and contributions received from the governments of Belgium, Poland, and the United States for the fifth session (October 4-15, 1999) of the United Nations Ad Hoc Committee on the Elaboration of a Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime as it continues to develop a text for this convention.
Abstract
The three countries present one report regarding proposed changes to the revised draft Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, Supplementing the United Nations Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime. The introduction to the report notes that at its fourth session, the Ad Hoc Committee was of the view that the text of the revised draft Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, Supplementing the United Nations Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime contained redundancies and could be better organized. The proposals of Belgium, Poland, and the United States are designed to address this concern. The proposals do not involve any substantive changes in the text of the revised draft nor do they insert in the draft any proposals made by other delegations at the fourth session of the Ad Hoc Committee. After citing the proposed changes in the organization and wording of the draft in its various articles and grouping of articles, this report presents the entire restructured text of the draft Protocol. 64 notes
