Trafficking in human beings concerns all OSCE participating States, both as a security threat and a human rights issue. Virtually all countries in the region are countries of origin, transit, or destination, or a combination of the above. The OSCE addresses all relevant issues: human rights and rule of law; corruption and crime control; discrimination and inequality; and economic, labour, and migration policies. In 2003, the Organization set up the Office and post of Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings to help participating States develop and implement effective policies.
