[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] Actually, there is a bit in the article on it: [i]The situation is so serious that in October, the U.N. Crime Commission met in Vienna to draft an international treaty to combat human trafficking worldwide. The treaty contains the first international definition of "trafficking in persons," recognizing that phsycological coercion - and not just the use of force - is now one of the main tools of traffickers. The United States followed suit: on Oct. 28, Clinton signed a bill that gives temporary asylum to the slaves and makes life in prison a possible penalty for the enslavers. "Every year ... women, children, and men are forced or tricked into lives of utter misery," Clinton said in his weekly radio address later that morning. "This is slavery, plain and simple."[/i] [/QB][/QUOTE]
