Kuwait has been showing an ideal approach to addressing issues related to human trafficking, a UN official said Thursday.
In a statement marking World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, Tareq Al-Sheikh, the UN secretary general's representative and resident coordinator to Kuwait, said that the Kuwaiti government used a rigid approach in dealing with human traffickers, including companies and anyone who facilitates this crime.
In addition, the Kuwaiti government opened the door to humanitarian action for all violators of the residence law for foreigners to leave voluntarily to their countries, he noted.
Head of International Organization for Migration (IOM) Mission in Kuwait Iman Erekat said that IOM has been working in close partnership with Kuwaiti government for over 25 years to explore methods addressing related problems, including the necessary response to the current crisis.
