- Summary
- The UNODC In-depth training manual on investigating and prosecuting the smuggling of migrants (the Manual) is the product of criminal justice expertise gathered from around the world. Three expert group meetings were held in three different continents. The first expert group meeting was convened in Vienna, Austria from 21 to 25 June 2010, the second in Bangkok, Thailand from 27 to 29 September 2010 and the third and final meeting was held in Pretoria, South Africa, from 18 to 20 January 2011. In the course of these meetings, experts discussed issues ranging from investigative techniques to international cooperation and protection of smuggled migrants, to decide upon and elaborate content that other practitioners could benefit from. The depth of experience of the investigators and prosecutors involved in the process, combined with the diversity of their country contexts ensures that the Manual reflects content of relevance to practitioners in countries of origin, transit and destination. The Manual builds upon and complements the material covered in the UNODC Basic training manual for investigating and prosecuting the smuggling of migrants, published in 2010.
