U.S. Hails Georgia’s Efforts to Eliminate Trafficking

The U.S. Department of State’s annual report on Trafficking of Persons, issued on June 3, said that the Government of Georgia does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking, however, it is making significant efforts to do so.


“The government took steps to implement several of its commitments, yet some important pledges remain unfulfilled. The government revised and publicly endorsed a comprehensive [anti-trafficking] National Action Plan, appointed a primary point of contact for trafficking, and established an interagency commission,” the report reads.


However, the U.S. Department of State’s report also says that the government should take proactive steps to fully implement its action plan, implement and formalize a victim referral mechanism with NGO assistance, ensure increased victim identification and continue special law enforcement training programs.
