The research encompassed within the Report, for most of the cases in relation to the criminal offences of “Trafficking in Human Beings”, “Mediation in Prostitution” and “Smuggling of Migrants” tried before basic courts in Macedonia, is the first systemized data collection on a national level.

Author: Nikolic-Ristanovic, Vesna, et. Title: Male Trafficking in Serbia Summary: In the last decades the problem of trafficking in persons came to the attention of the academic and professional public; important international documents were brought, and national mechanisms for combating this type of crime and for the assistance and protection of the victims were advanced. A great effort has been put into the improvement of uncovering and prosecuting of trafficking cases, as well as of identification, assistance and protection of the victims in Serbia as well. Nonetheless, similarly as worldwide, the emphasis in Serbia was on the research and the improvement of social responses related to trafficking in women and girls, while dealing with male victims was rather rare and marginal. However, in the last few years, in Serbia and world-wide, there has been an increase in the number of identified male victims of trafficking in persons, thereby enabling for a clear articulation for the needs to increase and systematize knowledge which would serve as a basis for designing a mechanism for more adequate combat, prevention, and protection and assistance of victims. With that, it is not a surprise that, in 2006, the U.S. Department of State – Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons - tendered a competition for research projects on the victimization of males by trafficking in persons, for which the Victimology Society of Serbia, along with a few more organizations from different parts of the world, received financial support for the implementation of the project whose results are presented here.

Author: United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) Title: Issue Paper: The Concept of "Financial or Other Material Benefit" in the Smuggling of Migrants Protocol Summary: Smuggling of migrants is defined in the Smuggling of Migrants Protocol as: "the procurement, in order to obtain, directly or indirectly, a financial or other material benefit, of the illegal entry of a person into a state party of which the person is not a national" (article 3). The drafters of the Smuggling of Migrants Protocol elected to include the "financial or other material benefit" (FoMB) not only as an element of the definition of the offence but also as a requirement for its criminalization (article 6). However, in criminalizing migrant smuggling, many States Parties to the Protocol have not included a financial or material benefit element, despite it being a key component of the international definition. This disparity raises questions about the impact that different approaches to the definition may have on efforts to mount effective and coordinated responses to the transnational crime of smuggling of migrants. Recognizing the critical importance of a common understanding of the internationally agreed definition, UNODC has undertaken the present study into the "financial and other material benefit" element of the definition of migrant smuggling. The study examines legislation and case law among a broadly representative group of States in order to gain a comparative perspective on how this aspect of the definition has been understood and applied. It gives particular attention to the experiences and views of practitioners who are involved in investigating and prosecuting migrant smuggling and related crimes.
