The deal, if implemented, will have negative ramifications on the Palestinian right to self- determination and principles of international law, consequently leading to more persecution and violations to the Palestinian human rights. (...) Annexation will besiege Jerusalem with settlement blocks and the West Bank with the racial annexation and expansion wall, to the West, as well as the Israeli occupation’s practical control over the Jordan Valley, to the east, consequently, leading to tightening control over whatever remains of the land. 10. Annexation, if actually carried out, will deal a strong blow to the international community, international legitimacy resolutions, international law rules and human rights principles, leading to undermining the state of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory. 11.

Causes of trafficking including (i) abuse of the social vulnerability10 and poverty of victims; (ii) demand for sexual exploitation and cheap labour11; (iii) profitability of trafficking12for organised crime13 (iv) gender inequality14, and (v) migration15 __________ 8 Article 3(a) of the Trafficking Protocol and Article 4(a) of the CoE Convention both define exploitation as but don’t limit it to the named purposes. 9 The Commission recommends ‘Indicators of Trafficking for Exploitation’, published in 2009 jointly by the European Commission and the International Labour Organisation, which sets out a range of control techniques employed in trafficking cross referencing them to the main means of exploitation, namely coercion, deception and abuse of vulnerability. 10 This importance of the concept of vulnerability is reflected, amongst other things, by its centrality of as a means of exploitation as reflected in the Trafficking Protocol, the CoE Convention, the UN Principles, and in the European Commission’s proposals in 2009 and 2010 for a new European Union Framework Decision 11 Demand for the services, products and goods that foster all forms of exploitation leading to, amongst other things, people trafficking, is cited in the main current and proposed international legal instruments as perhaps the main cause of human trafficking itself. 12 The relatively high profits involved in human trafficking is increasingly being recognised itself as a significant cause of the phenomenon as reflected in the European Commission in their proposals of March 2009 and March 2010 for a new European Union Framework Decision against human trafficking. 13 This relationship is recognised (i) at the global level in that the Trafficking Protocol is to the UN’s Convention against Transnational Organised Crime, and through the International Labour Organisation’s estimate published in 2008 that annual profits from trafficking in human beings may be as high as $32 billion; (ii) at the regional level in being reflected in the European Union’s Framework Decision on combating trafficking in human beings and in the CoE Convention, and (iii) in Great Britain in the significant presence of organised crime in trafficking, evidenced in part by the finding that at least ten organised crime groups were in human trafficking in Scotland from the Scottish Serious Organised Crime Group’s mapping project in 2009. 14 Human trafficking is largely a gendered phenomenon in that women tend to be both especially vulnerable to traffickers and then actually account for the bulk of victims particularly in respect of trafficking for sexual exploitation. 15 It is well established that human trafficking involves movement of exploited persons not only within borders but across borders. (...) It may be helpful, however, if the Commission offers thoughts that relate to some of these in terms of Great Britain: • The UK Government’s ratification in December 2008 of the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Being is welcome, especially as the Commission regards it as a leading international instrument; __________ national level can have an impact, good and bad, on levels and forms of human trafficking. (...) The Commission thinks fulfilling this principle may challenge to some practice in areas including asylum, immigration, policing, prosecution, as well as elsewhere, but the Commission is confident meeting it will, ultimately, deliver good outcomes; such as when settling rather than deporting a victim prevents re-trafficking, or when getting police get the trust of victims to leading the evidence that enables prosecutors and courts to convict traffickers for trafficking offences. 18 Given the transnational character of much of the exploitation in human trafficking it is essential that those responsible for preventing and tackling human trafficking cooperate.
