1. (U) UN efforts regarding sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA)
and trafficking in persons (TIP) in MINURCAT in the Central
African Republic (CAR) have been limited but effective. MINURCAT
currently operates with only several staff persons in an office
in Bangui. It has worked to prevent and respond to SEA and TIP
in its area of responsibility in CAR.
2. (U) Neither the CAR authorities nor civil society groups have
raised issues related to SEA or TIP in MINURCAT operations. No
international organizations or non-governmental organizations
have raised SEA or TIP issues in MINURCAT. There has been no
mention in the CAR press of issues related to SEA and or TIP in
MINURCAT.
3. (U) Ambassador Cook has discussed TIP issues actively with
all parts of the CAR's Government, including with the Minister
of Foreign Affairs and with the UN SRSYG Francois Fall. There is
broad agreement on the need to combat TIP and SEA, both within
MINURCAT and in society as a whole.
