Mozambican gov't regulates law on human trafficking
The government of Mozambique is elaborating a regulation of the law on human trafficking in particular of women and children approved by the Mozambican parliament, the Assembly of the Republic, on April 2008.
Lack of the regulation means it cannot be implemented which has severe implications as well as non condemnation of those found committing related crimes, The Mozambique News Agency (AIM) reported on Wednesday.
However, Mozambique was classified positively as the first country among the Southern African Development Countries to approve such law against human trafficking and also pointed as an example to follow, although it still faces challenges to implement it three years after being approved.
The government justified the delay in elaborating such regulation saying the law is of extreme complex, but the Justice Ministry has confirmed that a delegation composed by different partners has been set up and is already working in the proposal.
Similar to the law against human trafficking there are other laws approved in the country that are not yet being implemented due to the same reasons AIM says what makes matters worse is that there is no deadline established soon as a law is approved for the elaboration of its regulation.
The law against human trafficking, in particular of women and children the most vulnerable, was created to bring awareness to people on the seriousness of human traffic and to solve the problem.
Due to the country's geographical position (as corridor, bordering with different countries) and poverty condition, Mozambique is pointed as vulnerable to human trafficking.
No dates were advanced for the regulation to be concluded.
