This volume contains the work product of the 172nd International Training Course, conducted from 15 May to 21 June 2019. The main theme of the 172nd International Training Course was Criminal Justice Responses to Trafficking in Persons and Smuggling of Migrants. Human trafficking and the smuggling of migrants are serious crimes that cause grievous harm to human dignity, human rights and sustainable development. Transnational organized crime groups deceive victims into believing that they are en route to a better life, but they are instead pressed into indentured servitude or outright slavery. In order to suppress these crimes, the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime was adopted, along with its protocols on trafficking in persons and the smuggling of migrants. These instruments seek to, inter alia, harmonize the criminalization of human trafficking and smuggling, to strengthen investigative techniques to counter trafficking and smuggling crimes while maintaining a victim-oriented approach, and enhance international cooperation among States Parties. UNAFEI, as one of the institutes of the United Nations Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Programme Network, held this Course to explore various issues that relate to combating trafficking in persons and smuggling of migrants. This issue of the Resource Material Series contains papers contributed by the visiting experts, selected individual-presentation papers from among the participants, and the Reports of the Course. I regret that not all the papers submitted by the participants of the Course could be published. I would like to pay tribute to the contributions of the government of Japan, particularly the Ministry of Justice, the Japan International Cooperation Agency, and the Asia Crime Prevention Foundation for providing indispensable and unwavering support to UNAFEI’s international training programmes. Finally, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all who so unselfishly assisted in the publication of this series. December 2019 Takeshi Seto Director of UNAFEI v vi RESOURCE MATERIAL SERIES No. 109 Work Product of the 172nd International Training Course “Criminal Justice Responses to Trafficking in Persons and Smuggling of Migrants” UNAFEI 1 2 VISITING EXPERTS’ PAPERS THE FIGHT AGAINST HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN THE PHILIPPINES Severino H. Gana, Jr.* Trafficking in persons is a fundamental and crucially important challenge in the areas of human rights and law enforcement. It is not new—trafficking in persons is in many ways a modern-day form of slavery, which has persisted into the twenty-first century. Trafficking is a problem that has reached staggering dimensions around the globe. Solving this problem and bringing relief to its many victims are possible only through cooperative efforts. This cooperation must not only occur bilaterally and multilaterally among various governments, but also between governments and non-governmental organizations. It must involve governmental coordination on national counter-trafficking strategies as well as coordination at a local level for example, between local police and NGOs that provide services to victims. Destination countries must work with transit and source countries to stem the flow of trafficking; and source countries must work not only to prevent trafficking, but also to help with the reintegration of trafficked victims back into their home society.

  • The Depositional Environment of the Mid-Palaeozoic Red Beds at Hutan Aji, Perlis and Its Bearing on Global Eustatic Sea Level Change
    Geological Society of Malaysia, Bulletin 48 June 2004, p. 65 - 72 The depositional environment of the Mid-Palaeozoic red beds at Hutan Aji, Perlis and its bearing on global eustatic sea level change MEOR HAKIF HASSAN & LEE CHAI PENG Geology Department, University of Malaya 50603 Kuala Lumpur Abstract: Late Devonian - Early Carboniferous red coloured mudstones and sandstones are widely distributed in northwest Peninsular Malaysia. A relatively complete and well preserved sequence is exposed at Bumita Quarry, Hutan Aji, Periis, and is described herein. The facies associations observed are indicative of a marine prodelta-delta front depositional environment for the Mid-Palaeozoic red beds. A thin (9m) black mudstone facies in the middle of the Bumita Quarry sequence may represent the Latest Devonian Hangenberg Anoxic Event. The occurrence of a Mid­ Palaeozoic orogeny is refuted. The major regression just after the global Hangenberg Event transgressive episode is proposed as the cause of the major, pre-Carboniferous paraconformity observed in mid-Palaeozoic successions of the Sibumasu/Shan-Thai Terrane. Abstrak: Batu lumpur dan batu pasir merah berumur Devon Akhir - Karbon Awal tersingkap secara meluas di beberapa bahagian barat laut Semenanjung Malaysia. Satu turutan Devon Akhir-Karbon Awal yang hampir lengkap terdedah di Kuari Bumita, Hutan Aji, Periis, diperihalkan di sini. Gabungan-gabungan fasies yang dikenalpasti di lapangan ditafsirkan sebagai menunjukkan sekitaran enapan palaeo prodelta - hadapan delta marin bagi batuan merah Palaeozoik Tengah ini. Kehadiran fasies batu lumpur hitam yang nipis di tengah-tengah turutan Kuari Bumita mungkin mewakili Peristiwa Anoksik Hangenberg yang beriaku pada Akhir Devon.

Population census and age category character of Stump-tailed macaque, Macaca arctoides, in Northern Peninsular Malaysia. Biodiversitas 20: 2446-2452. Macaca arctoides is reported to be distributed only in the northern part of Malay Peninsula. Intensive scientific observations have never been carried out before on this neglected macaque in the northern range. Thus, in this article, an estimation of population data on the Malaysian stump-tailed macaques that were found in Wang Kelian forest areas in Perlis State Park, Malaysia is presented. Intensive field observations were conducted from Sept 2018 to January 2019 with scanning sampling.
