| IOM facilitates bilateral meeting between Georgia and Turkey
From 14 to 16 December 2011, IOM facilitated a visit of a Georgian government delegation to Turkey to discuss various aspects of bilateral cooperation in the field of combating trafficking in persons. This has been the sixth bilateral visit of government delegations from both countries that IOM has facilitated since 2006.
|
|
|
|
A Georgian delegation, consisting of four representatives of the country`s Interagency Coordination Council, the State Fund for the Protection and Assistance of Victims of Trafficking in Persons, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Office of the Chief Prosecutor of the Ministry of Justice, travelled to Ankara to meet with their Turkish counterparts from the MInistries of Foreign Affairs, Justice, Internal Affairs as well as the
|
|
|
|
|
Ministry of Labour and Social Security. The aim of the visit was to take stock of the achievements of the bilateral cooperation mechanisms that have been in place since 2005, and also to discuss modalities of further cooperation aimed at fighting the crime of trafficking and protecting victims of trafficking in their return from Turkey and subsequent rehabilitation in Georgia.
During the visit the Georgian delegation also met with representatives of the US Embassy to Turkey and with the IOM Mission in Ankara to discuss relevant areas of cooperation and exchange views on effective practices to enhance bilateral cooperation between Georgia and Turkey. On 16 December the Georgian delegation met with the consular staff of the Georgian Embassy in Ankara and delivered a tailored training for them.
This bilateral visit has been organized as part of the project "Building Capacity to Enhance Georgia`s Referral Mechanism and International Law Enforcement Cooperation in the Field of Counter-Trafficking", as generously funded by the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs of the US State Department.

| Training for Georgian Law Enforcement and Victim Assistance Structures on the Combat of Trafficking in Persons
From 6 to 8 December 2011 the International Organization for Migration (IOM) facilitated a three-day training on the issue of combating trafficking in persons for 29 representatives of law enforcement offices in Georgia. This activity has been implemented in close coordination with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Justice of Georgia and is rooted in the action plan of the Georgian government for the combat of trafficking in persons in 2011 and 2012.
|
|
|
|
This training has built on the large number of capacity building efforts that IOM implemented in the past, which resulted in comprehensive knowledge and understanding among police investigators, prosecutors and border control officers about the basics of trafficking in persons. Rather than starting from the elementary level, this week’s course focused on enhancing the appreciation of specialized police officers and prosecutors of some
|
|
|
|
|
key elements of the process of trafficking in persons and the way this affects Georgia in the context of the wider region.

| IOM meets with project partners in Brussels to discuss readmission |
|
| On 12 and 13 October IOM convened a meeting in Brussels to discuss the progress made in the implementation of the project “Support to the Authorities of Georgia in the Implementation of the Readmission Agreement with the European Union”. |
|
 |
|
This meeting was the second in a series of three coordination meetings dedicated to this project. These meetings serve as a platform for all project partners to meet and discuss project implementation modus operandi. The Georgian government delegation consisted of 6 persons from the Civil Registry Agency of the Ministry of Justice, the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The European partners in attendance came from Belgium, the Czech Republic and Poland, whereas the European Commission was represented from various of its directorates.
The Georgian government used this opportunity to report on progress made in the implementation of
|
|
|
the readmission agreement, whereas it also provided extensive information on developments in other areas, such as document security and the electronic ID-card introduced in Georgia.
This project receives financial support from the European Union and is co-funded by the Governments of Belgium, the Czech Republic and the Netherlands.
