From the general international UN point of view, I want to say that there is, as you probably very well know, the 2000 United Nations Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime, which is very important in this particular field. There are three protocols to which Canada is party, the so-called Palermo protocols. One deals with human smuggling. The other deals with human trafficking. The other deals with trafficking of weapons.
I believe the UNHCR encourages, within the UN system, all countries to really find their responses in terms of law enforcement within that process. It is a process. There is a conference of parties. There is a working group. I think the next session is in October of this year in Vienna.
There is a process that goes on, and this is the international process in which countries have to find their responses, how to coordinate the fight against human smuggling and human trafficking. UNHCR from our point of view--although we recognize that sometimes refugees are obliged to use smuggling networks in order to reach safety--is doing certain activities.
I remember in certain operations.... I was in Turkey, for instance, when people coming from Iraq were going through minefields and all that. We were putting information in place. We were trying to reach communities and saying this is dangerous; if you have to seek asylum, try to find alternative routes.
So the UNHCR on certain occasions puts in place information campaigns to prevent situations that could be so dangerous.
