Trafficking in Human Beingsin Southeastern EuropeAlbaniaOther activities of the government:• The Minors Division of the Ministry of Justice prepared analyses of thelegal aspects of trafficking in children;• New provisions for the protection of children – changes in the AdoptionLaw and Labour Code;• National Strategy for Children is based on the principals of the CRC;• Prevention of trafficking in children and implementation of theNational Strategy to Combat Trafficking;• National Strategy for Women includes anti-trafficking measures andprevention activities, including providing girls with a better educationand securing their right to education;• Readmission agreements between Albania, Italy and Switzerland aswell as the bilateral agreement between the Ministry of Public Orderof Albania and the Greek Ministry of the Interior on co-operation andreadmission of children.Since September 2001, IOM has implemented counter trafficking police training,which resulted in the training of approximately 165 policemen, includingpolicemen from the Anti-trafficking Task Force of the Ministry of Public Order.IOM is working closely with the Police Academy and the local NGO NetworkAgainst Gender Violence and Trafficking. The training has already been integratedinto the academic curriculum at the Police Institute.OSCE, through its field stations, monitors arrests and prosecutions for traffickingand trafficking related offences. The OSCE survey has shown an unfortunatedeficit of successful prosecutions compared to the number of arrests,as well as great variations in the rate of arrests in different areas in the country.Those areas, which have traditionally the greatest links to trafficking, arethose with the lowest rates of arrest and prosecution.OSCE conducted an assessment of the Albanian Criminal Code and its antitraffickingprovisions, and prepared an analysis of the existing law. The conclusionof this analysis was that there was no need for new legislation, exceptwhere gaps existed, particularly in the area of asset forfeiture and witnessprotection. Partly as a result of this analysis, the Government’s emphasisshifted from drafting new legislation to implementing the existing laws.A Training of Trainers programme “Policing the Rights of Women” was organisedfor the teaching staff at the Police Training Institute and the Police Academyin Tirana, with the aim of contributing to the combat of trafficking andviolence against women, while ensuring witness protection and maintainingeffective police procedures. The original materials were developed by UNH-CHR in consultation with OSCE/ODIHR, and then further elaborated by a UKpolice trainer. The project was implemented by the OSCE Mission in Albaniaand the National Network against Gender Violence and Trafficking, in co-ordinationwith IOM.OSCE is also supporting:• Development of curricula for police training and for the Police Academy;• Monitoring of trafficking cases and legal support for trafficked persons;• Assessment of the legal aspects of readmission agreements and thesituation of trafficked children.136TdH and NPF are working on the legal aspects of trafficking in children, includingthe consequences of the readmission agreements and the protection of

The organisations advocate that the governmentsof countries of destination 161 :• Take legal and operative measures to ensure that a child victim oftrafficking remains in the territory of the respective country temporarilyor permanently, with this being similar to the principle nonrefoulementfor asylum-seekers;• Provide assistance to children to ensure their physical and mental wellbeing;• Ensure the protection and safety of a child for as long as he/she in onthe territory of the said country;• Seek information on the family, or legal representative, in the countryof origin;• Take measures for the child’s return and reintegration.AlbaniaTdF and NPF are also preparing a draft Co-ordinated Repatriation Proceduresof Trafficked Children between Albania and Greece.
