DUBAI — The general advocate in the prosecutions technical office of the Ministry of Justice said here on Tuesday the UAE federal law on human trafficking was vague on vital details and advocated urgent review.
Saying its current form hindered prosecution, Sultan bin Jawed also maintained it was not in line with international agreements. He was addressing the concluding session of a forum on the problem of human trafficking.
“Law number 51 of 2007 is not in line with the United Nations Agreement on Organized Crime and Anti-Human Trafficking Protocol,” Jawed said. “So there is urgent need to amend the law.”
He said the law did not detail acts that constituted human trafficking and was inadequate in outlining the procedures to be followed when violation was suspected.
“There needs to be a comprehensive amendment of the federal law and a committee should be established to study the law,” Jawed said.
