non-governmental organizations of Armenia and Georgia, fighting
against organized crime, trafficking in human beings and illegal
migration have signed today in Yerevan a cooperation memorandum,
vowing to join their efforts to track down all such instances and
call perpetrators to account.
In February they will launch an Internet website and beginning
from June law-enforcement bodies of the two countries and relevant
government commissions will have to report about cooperation with
non-governmental organizations once in six months.
The regional network plans to participate actively in development
and discussions of national legislations, to provide legal consulting
and practical assistance to victims of trafficking and supervise the
so-called risky groups. Apart from this, Armenian and Georgian
organizations will seek cooperation with counterparts from the United
Arab Emirates, Oman and Bahrain, the main destinations of human
trafficking victims.
