Extract:

According to the World Report on Human Trafficking of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), that phenomenon affects practically all regions of the world. UNODC has identified at least 510 flows of transnational trafficking in persons. Most of those victims are targeted for the purposes of sexual exploitation.

Thirdly, the resolution addresses sexual violence and the strengthening of the mandate of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict. Uruguay condemns the use of sexual violence by any party as a terrorist tactic to further such an agenda. Those practices have led to the development of a growing nexus between trafficking in persons and conflict, thereby violating the rights ofthousands of women and children within the context of war.
