Oman joined the global community on Tuesday in observing World Day Against Trafficking in Persons. The Sultanate is actively combating the human trafficking issue and was among the first few countries to enact specific legislation known as the Anti Trafficking Law addressing the crime.
On the occasion, Sheikh bin Ali Al Maani, Head of International Affairs, Department of Foreign Ministry, said, “Oman’s interest in promoting the culture of hum, a rights and raising awareness about challenges and crimes that undermine human dignity stems not only from international commitments but also from our religious and national duties rooted in our Omani tradition and culture.”
Maani highlighted the fact that the country has established national laws to combat the human trafficking issue and has ratified and joined numerous international agreements, charters, instruments, and protocols. These agreements that address the exploitation of individuals, especially women and children, have been integrated into local laws to ensure effective implementation.
Trafficking is a crime against humanity, necessitating international cooperation to combat it. The minister expressed the need for a clear strategy that addresses the nature and severity of the crime, contrary to human nature and the teachings of Islamic Law and other religious doctrines that sanctify the human body and forbid its violation.
He also addressed the significant role of the National Committee to Combat Human Trafficking in Oman. The committee works towards resolving issues related to these matters and provides protection and shelter to the victims. It has established a shelter by the name of Dar Al Wifaq that offers various services to victims, like providing psychological, social, educational, health and legal support.
