Criminal Law Reform and Anti-Human Trafficking Programs

Anti-Trafficking posters, developed as part of the ABA Rule of Law Initiative's awareness campaign, are displayed in public places throughout Ecuador.

In many host countries, new criminal codes have only recently come into force, in some cases providing jury trials for the first time ever. The ABA Rule of Law Initiative assists legal professionals and law enforcement officers in implementing these novel codes of procedure. The ABA Rule of Law Initiative also provides training, legislative drafting, and other support in combating human trafficking, corruption, money laundering and cybercrime and in addressing prosecutorial reform issues.
