Clamp down on illegal fishing to curb human trafficking - Polidicks

[quote] [I]Mark P. Lagon is a professor at Georgetown University and an adjunct senior fellow for human rights at the Council on Foreign Relations. He was U.S. ambassador at large for human trafficking from 2007 to 2009. [/I] If most people think human trafficking is all about sexual exploitation, the mistake is understandable. After all, last year’s State Department report on trafficking noted that 85 percent of prosecutions for this crime worldwide — and more than 89 percent of convictions — were for sex-related offenses. But, as an International Labor Organization study found in 2012, more than three-quarters of trafficking victims in the global private economy are exploited for labor. And the world is just starting to learn how much of this is tied to fishing. Yes, fishing. [/quote] [quote]For purposes of indictment, it is hard to beat a conclusion in a 2011 paper by the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime: “Perhaps the most disturbing finding of the study was the severity of the abuse of fishers trafficked for the purpose of forced labor on board fishing vessels. These practices can only be described as cruel and inhumane treatment in the extreme. . . . A particularly disturbing facet of this form of exploitation is the frequency of trafficking in children in the fishing industry.” [/quote] [url]http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/clamp-down-on-illegal-fishing-to-curb-human-trafficking/2014/01/09/527645b2-725b-11e3-8def-a33011492df2_story.html[/url]

[QUOTE=viperfan7;43490668]but what about [code]slavery = wrong[/code] I suggest it be equal to badong to solve this delema[/QUOTE] [code]slavery ~= bad = wrong[/code]

[QUOTE] [code]slavery = wrong[/code] [/QUOTE] [QUOTE] [code]slavery = bad[/code] [/QUOTE] According to this it would be: [code]wrong = bad[/code] but [code]wrong != bad[/code] because something wrong can be good. So slavery is either not wrong or not bad.

I dislike both illegal fishing [I]and[/I] slavery. Thanks, Georgetown University Professor Mark P Lagon.
