Ms. Huda found that the issue of human trafficking is not dealt with adequately, because: the Government falls short of fulfilling its international obligations, particularly those laid down in the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress, and Punish Trafficking in Persons supplementing the United Nations Conventions on Transnational Organized Crime, to which Lebanon acceded pursuant to Act No. 682 of 24 August 2005; the labour, law enforcement and social assistance authorities do not adequately and effectively respond to cases of trafficking; Parliament has not been sufficiently involved in reforming or amending legislation; and efforts have not been made to address the root causes of trafficking.
