Ministry of Justice Takes Over Coordination of Human Trafficking Efforts

The Ministry of Justice is taking over the coordination of combating human trafficking in Cyprus, following an agreement with the Deputy Ministry of Migration. The transfer of responsibilities is due to the need for better coordination and a focus on criminal issues related to human trafficking. A bill has already been submitted to facilitate the transition, and an upgrade of the staff and infrastructure of the Ministry of Justice and the Police is expected. All stakeholders expressed satisfaction with the agreement and cooperation.
