Anti-Human Trafficking Pledge

We, the members and member-companies of the Philippines Norway Business Council (PNBC), acknowledge that we can play a pivotal role in the fight against Human Trafficking defined under the Palermo protocols, specifically the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children, also referred to as the Trafficking Protocol, adopted by the United Nations in Palermo, Italy in 2000, to wit:

“Trafficking in persons shall mean the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation. Exploitation shall include, at a minimum, the exploitation of the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labour or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs.”
