TASK FORCE MENSCHENHANDEL Concept Note Vienna Conference on Combatting Trafficking in Human Beings BOUNDARIES AND FRONTIERS IN HUMAN TRAFFICKING 19 October 2023 Vienna School of International Studies Combatting Trafficking in Human Beings remains a global phenomenon that requires profound collaboration between governmental and non-governmental entities. Interdisciplinary cooperation, awareness raising and proactive efforts on national, regional and international level are essential in this context. One of the most meaningful preventive measures is the professional exchange of expertise among anti-trafficking practitioners. The need for action is urgent in light of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine and the shift of global crime to virtual platforms. Increasingly complex financial transactions, which are used to maintain profits of criminal groups demonstrate that human trafficking can only be tackled through strong partnership and effective networks. The annual Vienna Conference on Combatting Trafficking in Human Beings, which brings together national and international experts, remains a proven communication platform and strategic tool in combatting human trafficking. This year’s conference focuses on “Boundaries and Frontiers in Human Trafficking”. The topic encompasses a variety of differentiations, limitations and prospects. Even the typology of human trafficking itself is characterized by distinctions from and overlap with related phenomena, such as smuggling of migrants and other illegal practices, which coexist with human trafficking and may hamper victim identification. The distinction between human trafficking and other emerging forms of exploitation is an important point for discussion. The concept of territorial borders is omnipresent not only in the context of the war against Ukraine, but also in the relations between human trafficking, irregular migration and refugee flows. The limits of what is possible – also for perpetrators of human trafficking– have been lifting rapidly through the development of communication technologies and systems. Simultaneously, new forms of committing offences, such as identity theft and fraud, are spreading through the ubiquity of complex IT systems. In April, the annual OSCE Alliance Conference highlighted the global power imbalance between men and woman as well as vulnerabilities due to armed conflicts and war as key factors for the emergence of human trafficking. These factors must be borne in mind when discussing the problem. For an impact to be felt, national and international authorities must assume collective responsibility. This year the Vienna Conference on Combatting Trafficking in Human Beings is also a follow-up event of the high-level symposium entitled “Vienna World Conference 30 Years On: Our Rights – Our Future”, which took place in Vienna in June 2023. The keynote speech by Volker Türk, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, will canvass the interrelation between human rights and human trafficking. The high-level panel discussion will introduce and examine the thematic focus on frontiers and boundaries from different perspectives together with representatives of international organisations, states and survivors of human trafficking as well as experts from the field of worker protection. The audience will have the chance to actively participate in the discussion, whether in person or online. The fight against human trafficking has been one of the main priorities of Austria’s foreign policy since the establishment of the Task Force on Combatting Human Trafficking in 2004. The Task Force has organised the annual conference since 2007 in cooperation with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the OSCE and, for some years now, the Principality of Liechtenstein. The afternoon workshops, which form an integral part of the conference, will set thematic priorities and allow for a detailed examination of relevant topics. Workshop 1: Borders of Responsibility: Solidarity against Labour Exploitation (German) Organized by: International Organization for Migration IOM and MEN VIA Participating Experts: Katie Klaffenböck (IOM Austria), Manfred Buchner (MEN VIA), Marcel Pliemitscher (Austrian National Health Service, Anti-Wage and Social Dumping Office) The workshop will focus on the realities experienced by exploited workers and expose broader vulnerabilities to labour exploitation. Synergies for common approaches and practical actions will be explored to better identify and prevent labour exploitation. Based on a recent case of exploitation of over 50 Iraqi citizens in Austria, the workshop will highlight current challenges and opportunities. Expert input from a variety of stakeholders will ensure that discussions focus on practical possibilities within the established system of labour and workplace inspections. Workshop 2: Cross-Border Protection of Victims (English) Organized by: Intervention Centre for Trafficked Women LEFÖ-IBF Participating Experts: Sangeetha Manavalan (Deputy Director, LEFÖ-IBF), et al. Human trafficking is mostly a transnational crime and a human rights violation that often affects people who cross borders in order to create new life perspectives for themselves. Their existing vulnerabilities and multiple constraints or obstacles are exploited in the process. Transnational strategies for victim protection are necessary to counteract human trafficking and to bolster those affected in order to free them from exploitative conditions and finally to strengthen them and reduce the probability of re-trafficking. This can only be truly effective and comprehensive, if the international dimension is taken into account. It is necessary to create networks, expand rights and strengthen the international cooperation of all stakeholders to offer effective victim protection. By examining the current situation through practical examples, the workshop will analyze the current situation, identify successes and shortcomings and raise the question of possible approaches for solutions. Workshop 3: Child Trafficking as a Failed Concept? Critical Reflections for Effective Child Protection (English) Organized by: Ludwig Boltzmann Institute of Fundamental and Human Rights LBI and ECPAT Participating Experts: Stefan Ebenberger (Secretary General, ISPA – Internet Service Providers Austria), Yaël Pelegrin (Child Rights Researcher), Ute Mayrhofer (Advocacy against Child Labour, DKA Austria – Development Cooperation Agency of the Austrian Catholic Youth Movement), Theresa Ryan Rouger (Senior Policy Advisor, Missing Children Europe) GRETA’s Annual Report in 2016 exposed the fact that child trafficking displays the widest implementation gaps in all anti-trafficking efforts in Europe. Victim identification, safe shelters specifically for children, guardianship, trafficking prevention, asylum-seeking children gone missing, online child exploitation, cross-border child protection and child access to compensation are only a few examples for current challenges. Moreover, the international definition of child trafficking adds more problems than solutions. Together with international experts, the workshop will discuss concrete case studies to identify obstacles as well as possible synergies to create integrated, human rights-based child protection systems at the national and European level. Workshop 4: The Dark Side of the Internet – Cross-Border Human Trafficking for High Profit. How Society Can Support the Fight Against Exploitation (German) Organized by: Criminal Intelligence Service Austria BK and Federal Ministry of the Interior BMI Participating Experts: Gerald Tatzgern (BK), Robert Klug (BK), Horst Schiller (BK), Sabrina El Astal (BBU GmbH) The workshop will examine the impact of the internet on the recent developments in human trafficking. Furthermore, it will highlight how the regional and international fight against cross-border and anonymous criminal activities with exploitative elements can be targeted with effective and strategic measures, including cooperation with civil society. The fight against digitized trafficking in human beings has become a top priority throughout Europe. From the recruitment of victims to their physical exploitation, criminals use well-known functions of the internet and social media and have acquired an ever-increasing level of modernization as well as advanced technical skills and expertise. This has contributed to criminal activities being operated like companies. Combating this phenomenon requires international cooperation across all continents in an age led by information and communication technology (ICT).
