  • Identification of Victims of Trafficking in Human Beings in International Protection and Forced Return Procedures in Latvia
    IDENTIFICATION OF VICTIMS OF TRAFFICKING IN HUMAN BEINGS IN INTERNATIONAL PROTECTION AND FORCED RETURN PROCEDURES IN LATVIA FOCUSSED STUDY Riga, October 2013 Aim of the study Identification of victims of trafficking in human beings in international protection and forced return procedures in Latvia is to examine whether, and how, victims of trafficking in human beings are detected and identified in Latvias’ procedures for international protection, and in forced return procedures if they have received a (final) negative decision on their application(s) for protection or have abandoned the procedure. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Latvia is considered as the country of origin of the victims of trafficking in human beings rather than the transit or destination country for human trafficking. So far there have not been any cases of identification of human trafficking victims during the international protection or forced return procedures. Latvia has introduced in its regulatory enactments all requirements set forth in the EU Directives (2004/81/EC and 2011/36/EU). There is a mechanism in place in Latvia for reaction and cooperation of authorities in identification, recognition and provision of necessary assistance, but so far it has been applied only in respect of Latvian nationals who have been recognized as victims of trafficking in human beings. The State Border Guard carries out recognition of the victims of trafficking in human beings both during the international protection and forced return procedures. In the event of doubt that a third-country national might be a victim of trafficking in human beings the State Border Guard notifies the State Police of this fact whereby FOCUSSED STUDY IDENTIFICATION OF VICTIMS OF TRAFFICKING IN HUMAN BEINGS IN INTERNATIONAL PROTECTION AND FORCED RETURN PROCEDURES the latter takes the necessary measures within the limits of its competence for the alleged victim to be legally identified and to receive the statutory protection and assistance.

However, the movement of cargo and trucks and vehicles across the state border remained quite intense. Therefore, the State Border Guard Service under the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Lithuania (SBGS) officials mainly performed radiation detection functions of transport and cargo. The chart below shows the quantities of the radiation detection events1 recorded in the second quarter of 2020 at different border crossing points (BPC): Registered number of events: Airports BCP 15 Railway BCP 718 Roads BCP 60 Seaport BCP 219 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 Events registered 1 Event - an alarm signal generated by specialized equipment deployed at the border crossing point informing that a certain object (person, vehicle or object, cargo) in the BCP emits ionizing radiation higher than the natural background. 2 Here we can see that during the 2d quarter of 2020, a total number - 1012 radiation detection events were recorded.

  • Practical Aspects of Cooperation Between the State Border Guard of Latvia and Federal Security Service Border Guard Service of Russian Federation
    PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF COOPERATION BETWEEN THE STATE BORDER GUARD OF LATVIA AND FEDERAL SECURITY SERVICE BORDER GUARD SERVICE OF RUSSIAN FEDERATION Jekaterina Kuprijanova1, Juris Livdāns2 Iluta Arbidāne3 1 State Border Guard, Latvia, e-mail: [email protected] 2State Border Guard, Latvia, e-mail: [email protected] 3 Rezekne Academy of Technologies, Latvia, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. One of the main State Border Guard priorities is to maintain and develop the state border guarding system, according to the European Union external borders requirements, by fulfilling the conditions of the Schengen acquis. Schengen acquis provides that international cooperation in the field of border security can have multilateral, bilateral and local dimensions. In this context, an agreements concluded with bordering countries on cooperation in the field of border management is an effective tool to strengthen border security (EU Schengen Catalogue, 2002). In research as methodology are used scientific literature in the field of international law, treaties and agreements, the law of the Republic of Latvia, the State border guard of the internal regulations and the State border guard of unpublished materials. The Republic of Latvia and the Russian Federation cooperate in the field of development and implementation of coherent measures for the border control. Cooperation with RF is executed based on treaties and agreements concluded, as well, maintaining contacts between competent representatives of both countries at various management levels. The extensive cooperation between neighbouring countries on maintenance of security at the border results in the elucidation of the incidents occurring at the state border and other relevant issues, at the same time providing stability and security at the common border.

  • Justice and Home Affairs Background
    February 2006 JUSTICE AND HOME AFFAIRS BACKGROUND As stated in the 2005 Comprehensive Monitoring Report, “Romania has taken significant steps to address some of the issues within the political criteria which were highlighted in the 2004 report as requiring further improvements, such as the reform and independence of the judiciary. (…) The fight against corruption should receive high priority. Efforts should focus on the effective enforcement of anti-corruption legislation and on preventive measures, fighting high-level corruption and corruption within law enforcement bodies”. Justice system In March 2005 the new Government adopted an ambitious revised Strategy and Action Plan 2005-2007 to reform the justice system. These documents represent a significant step forward in the plans to create an independent, professional and effective justice system and now need to be internalised by the relevant actors. The Action Plan is being implemented according to schedule, with comprehensive monitoring mechanisms consisting of an inter-institutional commission co-ordinated by the Ministry of Justice and a series of working groups within the Superior Council of the Magistracy. The full and effective implementation of the Action Plan should continue without delay. The availability of financial and human resources and comprehensive training as well as accurate and standardised management statistics will largely determine the success of this operation. Following consultation with stakeholders a revision of the so-called three-law package on justice reform (Laws on the Superior Council of the Magistracy, on the Organisation of the Judiciary and on the Statute of Magistrates) was submitted by the Government to Parliament in June 2005 and adopted after a vote of confidence.

The law was published in the Official Gazette no. 622 from19 July 2006.

The amendments mainly aim to increase the number of the personnel, both in the central structure and in the territorial structures and to strengthen the role that the Agency plays in coordinating the activities developed against trafficking in human beings, according to the recommendations of the EU Monitoring Report from May 2006. Thus: o The new name of the Agency will be The National Agency against Trafficking in Human Beings; o The number of the regional centres of the Agency has been increased from 8 to 15, which will be placed in the counties where Courts of Appeal function; this will ensure a better collaboration with the law enforcement agencies (police, border police), whose coordination structures function in the same counties, in order to take and refer the victims with maximum promptness to the specialized assistance
