Voice of America (Jakarta) – UN and Human Rights NGO officials stated plans to fight human trafficking and assist its victims in Indonesia via the new UN Human Trafficking Trust Fund. Gary Lewis, East Asia and Pacific representative of the UN Office of Drugs and Crime, believes a study of regional human trafficking organization will aid in showing the growth of this crime and the effectiveness of UN action. Nora Murat, Director of Amnesty International Malaysia, believes the new UN fund should quickly address the legal and humanitarian plights endured by human trafficking victims through the funding of victim centers.

Comment: (Source Reliability: The accuracy and lack of bias of the Voice of America are do not detract from the reliability of the source. However, the lack of significant detail into the current level of effort priority the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) headquarters holds on Indonesian trafficking limits analysis and prediction.)
Analysis: As the last post's analysis details the trend in UNODC efforts, especially in research, the subsequent need for Indonesian trafficking research will highly likely be a priority in the eyes of the UNODC. As the February 2009 UNODC/UN Global Initiative to Fight Trafficking Global Report on Human Trafficking indicates, South East Asia is one of the world's hubs for human trafficking and requires continued study. Subsequently, study of Indonesia's trafficking organization would fall into the UNODC's research priorities. However, the UNODC headquarters' leadership has not as of late expressed Indonesia's trafficking to be a priority for immediate operational action. Subsequently, a prediction into new or increased UNODC efforts can not be made since UNODC headquarters' leadership, which controls the trust fund distribution, has not made comments which supports or detracts from Mr. Lewis' plan.
