The Prime Minister will seek to galvanize international action to stamp out modern slavery when she brings together leaders, representatives of international organizations and experts in the margins of the UN General Assembly shortly.
The Prime Minister will argue that just as we have stepped up international co-operation to crackdown on drugs trafficking and other organized crime, we need a similar co-ordinate effort to eradicate modern slavery. And the PM will urge the group of like-minded countries, priority countries and key practitioners to work together to develop a model national response based upon:
- strong law enforcement action and legislative framework
- reducing vulnerability and supporting victims
- tackling transparency in supply chains
- effective international cooperation
It is estimated that there are up to 45 million victims of modern slavery worldwide. A cross jurisdiction crime - just like the trafficking of drugs, it is run by criminal groups that evade prosecution because law enforcement face the obvious challenges brought about by criminals networking across borders either physically or via the internet.
That’s why we need world leaders to challenge their respective law enforcement to join forces with others and come down hard on the organized crime groups and free victims of modern day slavery. This will require joint investigations, data and intelligence sharing and multilateral prosecutions. We know that increased co-operation across borders delivers results with long sentences for the perpetrators and freedom with recompense through the seizure of criminal assets for victims.
Speaking ahead of the meeting in New York this evening, the Prime Minister said:
The UK is leading the world with our efforts to stamp out modern slavery. Just over a year since the Modern Slavery Act came into force, convictions are up, more victims are getting support and there are more police investigations into this abhorrent crime.
But there is still much more to do. Across the world an estimated 45 million people are enduring experiences that are simply horrifying in their inhumanity. That’s why I am determined to drive forward international action to eradicate modern slavery.
Just as the criminals cross borders, so we need a radical new approach that crosses borders – sharing intelligence and joining up investigations. This is standard in the case of drugs trafficking and the trade in illegal firearms and there is no excuse for our law enforcement authorities failing to do this when it comes to modern slavery.
