4.4 Mission to Montenegro to limit illicit drug production and trafficking, and support victims of drug abuse. Trafficking in Human Beings & Migrationrelated Crime From 11 to 13 June, the Mission, in partnership with the National Coordinator’s Office for Combating Human Trafficking of Montenegro, organized a workshop in Podgorica dedicated to the preparation of the “2019-2024 Draft National Strategy for Combating THB” and the 2019 Action Plan, both of which are expected to be adopted in early 2019. The activity is part of the Mission’s efforts to address transnational threats to security and is a continuation of its support provided in preparing key documents on the issue. In October and November, as part of the Mission’s ongoing efforts to support the government to protect, identify and assist potential victims of THB, the Mission organized four two-day workshops on countering THB. Some 50 representatives from the Prosecutor’s Office, Police Directorate and the judiciary were given an opportunity to strengthen their capacities to understand and safeguard the rights of THB victims by examining relevant case studies and other mechanisms to identify victims and investigate cases. On 12 December, the “Guidelines on General Principles Regarding Non-punishment Provisions for Victims of THB” were presented in Podgorica to Montenegrin police officers, State prosecutors and judges. These guidelines were developed in co-ordination with the MoI’s National Office for the Fight against THB in support of Montenegro’s institutions to fight organized crime and corruption. The guidelines were designed to assist the authorities in ensuring that the human rights of trafficked victims are fully respected.
