Summary
Event overview: On 6-7 August 2008, UNIAP, ILO and the Australian Government initiative, the Asia Regional Trafficking in Persons (ARTIP) Project hosted a technical consultation in Bangkok with a group of 30 experts - primarily law enforcement, prosecutors, and Asia counter-trafficking specialists - to talk practically about raids and rescues and how they should fit into the bigger picture of combatting sex and labor trafficking and exploitation; when the risks of raids/rescues outweigh the benefits; how to execute better raids with more successful resolutions; and alternatives to raid operations. Experts were from the three sponsoring organizations as well as International Justice Mission, PeunPa Foundation, UK Police/Operation Pentameter II, U.S. Department of Justice, IOM, and UNODC.
