- "Hey, I'm the author of the resolution this thread is about and, wow, I really didn't expect to get so many approvals ^^. Thanks a lot to all of you who encouraged me. I wasn't aware that another reso about this had already been written, it's my bad I should've looked first. I totally understand my reso being deleted. I don't think I'll try rewriting it to submit it again, but anyone who wants to is free to use some of the ideas I put in mine."
- "The reso was actually inspired by a resolution passed at my school's Model United Nations meeting."

The UN defines human trafficking as the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of persons, by means of threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation.
Human trafficking is against human rights, measures should be put into action to prevent and fight against this inhuman practice. It is already illegal, but many nations do not know how to deal with it, as it is very hard to recognise human trafficking and arrest the traffickers. This is why this resolution proposes to:
- Assess every nation's situation concerning human trafficking, and create an electronic database containing 'maps' with the usual routes of traffickers in order to better fight against it;
- Ameliorate border control institutions by executing random searches of suspect vehicles and training personnel to recognise cases of human trafficking;
- Officially view human traffickees as victims, and not as criminals;
- Create a program for the integreation of traffickees, making it possible for them to access psychologists, lawyers and translators if needed, and to pursue their education and search for a job;
- Consider individuals awaiting the traffickees as criminals, on the same level as the traffickers;
- Create international programs which would facilitate legal proceedings concerning the extradition of foreign traffickers to their country of origin;
- Reccommend the reunion of the UN Global Programme Against Trafficking of Human Beings (UNGPATHB), the UN Human Rights Commission (UNHRC) and representatives of all member states in a meeting held every three years which would :
- a. discuss human trafficking and its prevention on a worldwide scale,
- b. explore solutions to national problems individual countries may be experiencings,
- c. revise international treaties, declarations, and conventions regarding human trafficking;
- Ask member states to review their judiciary system, and ecourage nations to make judiciary decisions harsher towards traffickers and individuals awaiting the traffickees, in the hope that it will discourage traffickers from continuing.
This resolution was written in the hope that human trafficking diminish on a worldwide scale.
