Duties and Responsibilities In August 2019, the European Union (EU) and United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) launched a new project on “Dismantling the criminal networks operating in North Africa and involved in migrant smuggling and human trafficking”. The project aims to step up efforts in the North Africa region to combat both people trafficking and smuggling of migrants and also support international efforts to address migration challenges in the Mediterranean. Developed under the strategic framework of the EU Emergency Trust Fund, the project covers Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia and combines a focus on the regional dimension of the fight against smugglers and traffickers with efforts to strengthen national criminal justice capacity and uphold the rights of migrants, refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable groups. As part of this project, Output 6.1 aims that the capacity of criminal justice practitioners to prosecute and adjudicate cases of human trafficking and migrant smuggling are strengthened and specifically activity 6.1.1 is to deliver gender-sensitive training to criminal justice practitioners on effectively prosecuting cases of human trafficking and migrant smuggling.

To meet the project’s objectives, UNODC is proposing to engage a team of international consultants to develop and deliver training to Libyan Judges and Prosecutors to effectively prosecute and adjudicate cases of human trafficking and migrant smuggling.
