1. (SBU) Ambassador and POL/ECON Officer on June 6 informed
GOC Ministers of Justice, and of Family and Social Action of
the publication of the 2006 Trafficking in Persons report,
and of Chad's Tier Two Watch List ranking. Ambassador again
raised the issue on June 7 with Minister of Foreign Affairs
and African Integration Ahmad Allam-mi; POL/ECON Officer
reinforced the message on June 9 with MFA North Americas Desk
Director Adoum Mahamat Yahya.
2. (SBU) GOC Ministers assured us they understood that
continued progress must be made in combatting trafficking in
persons. We discussed with them the following concrete
actions that could help to indicate the GOC's commitment to
addressing the problem:
-- Passage of specific anti trafficking legislation: The
Secretary General of the Ministry of Justice informed us that
SIPDIS
Chad's specific anti-trafficking legislation has cleared the
Council of Ministers; he reminded his minister that the law
needed only to be registered on the National Assembly's work
program for a date for debate and vote to be set. The
National Assembly has already been sensitized to the content
of the legislation, so approval should be uncontroversial.
-- Ratification of the Transnational Protocol on the
Supression of Trafficking in Persons: MinJustice SecGen noted
that, while this required only procedural work, the job
belonged to Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Legal Department.
Americas Desk Director Yahya agreed, and committed to pursue
the issue. Post encouraged him to inform us of the steps
that would need to be taken, so that we might monitor
progress.
3. (SBU) POL/ECON Officer pointed out that, to show continued
progress, these actions needed to be coupled with finalizing
the survey on Chad's ability to reinforce its judicial
capacity. She stressed that further action was also needed
in pursuing a number of TIP cases already in the Chadian
justice system.
4. (SBU) Post will follow up with the Justice and Foreign
Affairs Ministries to urge continued progress.
