Regardless of domestic legislation to tackle the smuggling of migrants, one should not lose sight of the effort that is still required for streamlining the implementation of national provisions in order to fully meet the requirements established by the Migrants Protocol against the Smuggling of Migrants by Land, Sea and Air. The Conference of the Parties to the United Nations may wish to consider ways and means to assist states that lack the capacity, especially developing countries, as well as those in transition to ensure Protocol compliance. It is recommended that high priority be given to the promotion of technical assistance programs, activities, and projects, as well as training programs for investigators, prosecutors, judges, and law enforcement officers. Training should be geared towards enhancing capacity-building in the fight against the smuggling of migrants. In 2000, the General Assembly adopted the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and two supplementary protocols. The second supplementary protocol was against the Smuggling of Migrants by Land, Sea and Air. In achieving specific objectives, the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations must acquire the necessary knowledge of the measures taken by states’ parties in implementing the Protocol. This report provides information on the adaptation of this national legislation, the Migrants Protocol and the meeting of the requirements. It also addresses the examination of the legislation incorporating the relevant basic provisions of the Protocol and the enhancement of international cooperation and the development of technical assistance to overcome difficulties or problems related to the Protocol. The report only reflects the situation in less than half of the states’ parties to the Protocol.
