The governor of a border state wants to know if the United Nations' Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children, applies to her state, where she approved an agreement with a foreign corporation by
which the corporation would hire foreign individuals and transport them to her state for work on the hog farms. What would be your answer to the governor?
The protocol applies when the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of persons is by means of threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments of benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation. If the agreement promotes any of those situations, the protocol would apply.
