Goedkeuring van het op 16 mei 2005 te Warschau totstandgekomen Verdrag van de Raad van Europa inzake bestrijding van mensenhandel (Trb. 2006, 99)

This Dutch parliamentary procedure concerns the approval of the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings, adopted in Warsaw on 16 May 2005. The convention sets out international standards to prevent trafficking, protect victims and prosecute offenders, and it establishes a monitoring mechanism for how states apply its rules. The procedure is the step in which the Dutch parliament decides whether the Netherlands formally ratifies the treaty. The approval affects the Netherlands and, through the treaty, the people who are victims of trafficking, including those subjected to sexual or labour exploitation. It also affects public authorities such as police, prosecutors and immigration services, which would need to follow the convention's victim protection and assistance requirements.
