Palermo protocols

Palermo protocols

There are two protocols that are referred to jointly as the Palermo Protocols, or are sometimes incorrectly referred to individually as the Palermo Protocol.

The Palermo Protocols are two protocols adopted by the United Nations in 2000 in Palermo, Italy, together with the Convention against Transnational Organized Crime. They are:
*the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children; and
*the Protocol against the Smuggling of Migrants by Land, Sea and Air.

These protocols and convention fall within the jurisdiction of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.
