UN News Centre (Bangkok) – The Asian-Pacific Regional Preparatory Meeting for the Global Forum on Migration and Development 2010 called on the international community to create laws which give legal protection and social services to migrants vulnerable to or affected by human trafficking. The Asian forum called for nations to provide legal protections to both foreign and domestic migrant workers from human trafficking while also providing health and education services to these workers. The forum maintains that most susceptible migrant worker to human trafficking is the undocumented worker. The forum believes migrants deserve rights and aid to reinforce human rights precedent and ensure economic contribution by migrants. The Asian forum’s statement will be presented to the entire Global Forum on Migration and Development in November.

Comment: (Source Reliability: The source contains no bias or inaccuracy. The 7 rating comes from the fact that the source does not provide detail into which Asian nations do the least to provide services and rights to trafficked migrants. Nor does the source provide detail into how victim services and right recognition entails stronger economic performance.)
Comment: As the recommendations will be presented to the Global Forum on Migration and Development in November, its is not possible at the moment to predict what type or what level of operational impact these recommendations and conclusions will have on Asian or Global anti-trafficking efforts. Statements made by participants at the Global Forum on Migration will provide clues as to what level of commitment individual regions or nations will take with respect to these recommendations and conclusions.
