Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The US government has upgraded Liberia’s ranking in the fight against human trafficking within just a year since the country was criticized for doing little to combat the crime.<\/p>\n

The upgrade, which moved Liberia to Tier Two of the US government’s annual report on Trafficking in Persons Report (TIP), is a reflection of the progress being made by the administration of President George Weah to counter human trafficking, under difficult circumstances.<\/p>\n

Just a year ago, Liberia was demoted to the reported Tier 3 Watch List \u2014 indicating that the Weah administration was not in full compliance with prohibiting trafficking in persons and punishing acts of such trafficking.<\/p>\n

But the US government, via its Department of State 2022 annual human trafficking report, which ranks governments by their efforts to combat human trafficking in all forms, claimed that the government of Liberia had made efforts since the downgrade period to increase measures to combat trafficking.<\/p>\n

The report’s three-tier system divides nations into tiers based on their compliance with standards outlined in the US Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000 \u2014 with Tier 1 made up of countries whose governments fully comply with the TVPA’s minimum standards.<\/p>\n

While Tier 2 countries\u2019 governments do not fully comply with all of the act’s minimum standards but are making significant efforts to bring themselves into compliance with those standards and Tier 3 is made up of countries whose governments do not fully comply with the minimum standards and are not making significant efforts to do so.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Government of Liberia does not fully meet the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking but is making significant efforts to do so. The government demonstrated overall increasing efforts compared with the previous reporting period, considering the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its anti-trafficking capacity; therefore Liberia was upgraded to Tier 2,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

Of these efforts, the report highlighted the passage and enactment of \u201ca new trafficking law, increase investigations, prosecutions, and convictions; and allocating more funding to NGOs to conduct awareness-raising campaigns.<\/p>\n

It also pointed to the government\u2019s decision to investigate 13 trafficking cases, initiated prosecution of 12 defendants, and continued prosecuting nine defendants, an increase compared with seven case investigations and prosecutions of two defendants in the previous reporting period; as some of the reasons for the upgrade.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe courts convicted eight traffickers, compared to zero convictions during the previous reporting period, with one trafficker sentenced to six years imprisonment and seven traffickers whose sentences were pending. The government increased efforts to prevent human trafficking.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government increased efforts to identify and protect trafficking victims. The government reported it identified 35 trafficking victims, compared with identifying 29 during the previous reporting period. Of the 35 victims, authorities identified four victims from Nigeria and two from Sierra Leone; the government provided shelter and necessities to the six victims while they waited to testify in a trafficking case.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition, provision of short-term accommodation in a government-run shelter to the 27 Liberian victims among the 35 identified. The government had standard operating procedures and a national referral mechanism to identify trafficking victims and refer them to care.<\/p>\n

The report also highlighted the government\u2019s allocation of US$275,000 to combat human trafficking in the 2022 budget, which is substantially more than the US$50,000 allocated in the 2020-2021 budget, as well as the police establishment of a new anti-trafficking unit, as some demonstrative effort made by the government to combat trafficking in persons.<\/p>\n

Human traffickers in Liberia exploit domestic and foreign victims and cases within the country are more prevalent than transnational trafficking. The majority of victims are children, according to the report.<\/p>\n

It said that recruiters exploit most trafficking victims within the country\u2019s borders in domestic servitude, forced begging, sex trafficking, or forced labor in street vending, gold and alluvial diamond mines, and on small-scale rubber plantations. And that they typically operate independently and are commonly family members who promise poorer relatives a better life for their children or promise young women a better life for themselves, the US government report disclosed.<\/p>\n

The TIP report is the US government\u2019s principal diplomatic and diagnostic tool to guide relations with foreign governments on human trafficking. It is also the world\u2019s most comprehensive resource of governmental anti-trafficking efforts and reflects the U.S. government\u2019s commitment to global leadership on this key human rights, law enforcement, and national security issue.<\/p>\n

As required by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, the TIP Report assesses government efforts around the world to combat human trafficking and highlights strategies to address this crime and protect the victims. This year\u2019s report, the 22nd installment, includes narratives for 188 countries and territories, including the United States.<\/p>\n

Highlighting how the Liberian government had failed to meet minimum standards in several key areas, the US report cited the government’s failure to systematically encourage trafficking victims to obtain restitution, even though the anti-trafficking law allowed such.<\/p>\n

This and other issues, the report added, contributed to Liberia\u2019s \u201coverall lack of progress\u201d, particularly given the fact that in none of the cases did the government prosecutors pursue any form of restitution; and victims\u2019 lack of knowledge of the trafficking law means they could not file civil suits against their traffickers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government did not have a formal policy that provided alternatives to removal to countries in which victims would face retribution or hardship, but could offer alternatives, including temporary residency, on a case-by-case basis. There were no reports the government detained or otherwise penalized trafficking victims for unlawful acts traffickers compelled them to commit; however, due to a lack of training, insufficient resources, and inconsistent application of victim identification procedures, authorities may have detained unidentified victims.\u201d\u201cOfficials continued to lack understanding of internal trafficking, and some continued to view forms of trafficking, especially forced labor of children in domestic servitude, as a community practice rather than a crime. Prosecutors may have pursued other charges, including rape and child endangerment in lieu of sex trafficking or child forced labor, due to a lack of understanding of human trafficking.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the second consecutive year, the report said that the Weah government did not report any investigations, prosecutions, or convictions of government officials complicit in human trafficking offenses; \u201chowever, corruption and official complicity in trafficking crimes remained significant concerns, inhibiting law enforcement action during the year.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the case of shelter, the report found that while numerous victims were identified, shelter services for victims remained insufficient, and the government did not support NGOs providing care to victims.<\/p>\n

It added that shelter and services were available to both domestic and foreign victims, it sometimes could not protect victims\u2019 identities, and victims could usually stay only three to six months due to capacity limitations and they were overcrowded and lacked funds.<\/p>\n

\u201cPoor maintenance and lack of staff training and capacity reportedly created inhospitable living conditions, which caused some victims to leave the shelter. And law enforcement officials continued to lack adequate resources and understanding of trafficking to effectively investigate and prosecute trafficking crimes. Also, lacked training on such procedures and, at times, misidentified trafficking victims as victims of other crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n
