At its first session, the Conference of the Parties approved its program of work. One of the adopted priority areas for work is the adaptation of national legislation of state parties to the Convention to comply with the requirements of the Convention and the Protocols. A second priority for work was an examination of criminalization legislation and difficulties in the implementation of such legislation. A third priority was the enhancement of international cooperation and the development of technical assistance for addressing difficulties in state parties' implementation of the Convention and the Protocols. In this session, the Conference of the Parties noted that not all state parties to the Convention had complied with their reporting obligations regarding their implementation of Convention mandates. Only 47 percent of the state parties had submitted reports on compliance with the Convention; 43 percent had reported on the Protocol on trafficking in persons; and only 45 percent had reported on their compliance with the Protocol against the smuggling of migrants. The workshop was conducted to raise awareness among state parties of the problem of under-reporting on Convention and Protocol reporting requirements. This report describes the proceedings and outcome of the workshop. The report on the workshop indicates that it was successful in raising participants' awareness of the under-reporting problem. 8 notes
