Mission and objectives
UNODC’s Human Trafficking and Migrant Smuggling Section (HTMSS) is a source of global expertise in responding to trafficking in persons (TIP), smuggling of migrants (SOM) and related crimes. HTMSS seeks to support countries to effectively reduce human trafficking and migrant smuggling; the harm to trafficking victims; and the number, strength, reach, profits and assets of migrant smuggling and human trafficking networks. We also provide cutting-edge knowledge development and expertise through targeted research and analysis, drawing upon a wide “community of practice”. These are trusted groups of practitioners; a repository of knowledge and good practices which members then apply and share through their own networks or workplaces. HTMSS’s Global Programme against Trafficking in Persons (GLOT59), Global Programme against the Smuggling of Migrants (GLOT92), and Global Action to Prevent and Address TIP and SOM (GLO. ACT) are the main vehicles to achieve these objectives. HTMSS Global Programmes are implemented in close cooperation with UNODC field offices and provide seed funding and expertise for the development of large programmes against TIP and SOM delivered by the field.
