"Madam President
the government appointed last December in Egypt has mentioned Sinai as one strategic priority that deserves greater attention. This makes us slightly more hopeful that the fight against organised crime involving human trafficking will be stepped up and that the situation with respect to refugees held for ransom by human traffickers in Sinai will be resolved.
It is mainly in certain areas that refugees are at great risk of falling victim to human trafficking. Human trafficking is a lucrative source of income for organised crime and a modern form of slavery. Sometimes it is used in the organ transplant business. The Sinai border area has also become known as a route to Israel for African migrants seeking work and a better life.
Egypt, Israel and the international community need to focus more attention on the region, and that is why we are having this debate. Both Egypt and other countries have a duty to comply with international agreements regarding the treatment of refugees. All resources available must be employed to end the torture of refugees who have fallen victim to human trafficking and to end the criminal practice of slavery."@en1
