Dubai: Senior officials attending a forum on combating human trafficking on Monday said the federal law on human trafficking needed more amendments and clarification.
During the first day of the two-day forum, Lieutenant General Dahi Khalfan Tamim, Chief of Dubai Police, called for the restating of the current Federal Law 51 of November 2006 in order to cover all forms of human trafficking. He called for the elimination of any possible ambiguities in the wording of the law.
The definition of human trafficking in this law is closely aligned with the definition outlined in the Palermo Protocol and by other international legislation.
According to Dr Saeed Al Gafli, executive director of the Ministry of State for Federal National Council Affairs and a member of the National Committee for Combating Human Trafficking, the committee is working on the final stages of a new law on human trafficking.
