The conference Identification of victims and criminals – why we do not notice them on 30–31 May 2013 in Tallinn, Estonia formed the conclusion of a Nordic-Baltic-Northwest Russian cooperation project. Around 80 participants attended the two-day conference to discuss ways of identifying victims and criminals and to find answer to the question of why we do not notice victims or criminals, even though we now have available to us facts, figures, research and knowledge about human trafficking as a part of international organized crime.

  • The Path to the FAIR HANSA FAIR for More Than 600 Years, a Unique Network HANSA of Merchants Existed in Northern Europe
    The path to the FAIR HANSA FAIR For more than 600 years, a unique network HANSA of merchants existed in Northern Europe. The cooperation of this consortium of merchants for the promotion of their foreign trade gave rise to an association of cities, to which around 200 coastal and inland cities belonged in the course of time. The Hanseatic League in the Middle Ages These cities were located in an area that today encom- passes seven European countries: from the Dutch Zui- derzee in the west to Baltic Estonia in the east, and from Sweden‘s Visby / Gotland in the north to the Cologne- Erfurt-Wroclaw-Krakow perimeter in the south. From this base, the Hanseatic traders developed a strong economic in uence, which during the 16th century extended from Portugal to Russia and from Scandinavia to Italy, an area that now includes 20 European states. Honest merchants – Fair Trade? Merchants, who often shared family ties to each other, were not always fair to producers and craftsmen. There is ample evidence of routine fraud and young traders in far- ung posts who led dissolute lives. It has also been proven that slave labor was used. ̇ ̆ Trading was conducted with goods that were typically regional, and sometimes with luxury goods: for example, wax and furs from Novgorod, cloth, silver, metal goods, salt, herrings and Chronology: grain from Hanseatic cities such as Lübeck, Münster or Dortmund 12th–14th Century - “Kaufmannshanse”. Establishment of Hanseatic trading posts (Hanseatic kontors) with common privi- leges for Low German merchants 14th–17th Century - “Städtehanse”. Cooperation between the Hanseatic cit- ies to defend their trade privileges and Merchants from di erent cities in di erent enforce common interests, especially at countries formed convoys and partnerships.

  • Hanseatic League, 1370
    Hanseatic League, 1370 “The lust for buying and selling was strong in their blood, and, under the most fearful conditions of hardship and danger, they went their weary way over the ill-conditioned roads to convey their merchandise from place to place, braving the dangers of pillage and death at the hands of the various Barons and powerful dignitaries of the Church—for their holy calling did not make the latter any less eager for temporal riches.” —Elizabeth Gee Nash, The Hansa: Its History and Romance Dear Delegates, It is with great excitement and pleasure that I welcome everyone to the Hanseatic League! My name is Bob Zhao. I am a sophomore studying Economics and Computer Science, and I will be directing the Hanseatic League committee over the course of the weekend. I’m originally from Memphis, Tennessee, and have been involved with Model UN since my freshman year of high school. After attending WUMUNS my freshman year, I was absolutely hooked, and it became the conference I most looked forward to every year afterward. I am so excited to relive one of my favorite parts of high school with you all and to explore this fascinating period of history throughout the three days of WUMUNS XI. The Hanseatic League is one of the earliest and most important, yet least known, economic unions in European history, the influence of which can be seen in the trade confederations of Renaissance Italy, the rise of the German states in the late 1800s, and even the modern European Union. Many of the economic idiosyncrasies of the modern European system can be traced back to the formative years of the Hanseatic League, which, in addition to being an important economic collective in continental Europe, was an extremely influential political force in the pre-Reformation golden years of the Holy Roman Empire.
