S/RES/2331 (2016)
internationally, between law enforcement and regulatory actors and the private
sector as well as within the private sector, in line with applicable international and
national law, to help identify and detect suspicious financial activity related to
trafficking in persons that finances terrorism, while also recognizing the need to
protect the confidentiality of personal data of victims;
7.
Recalls its decision, in resolution 1373 (2001) that all Member States
shall ensure that any person who participates in the financing, planning, preparation
or perpetration of terrorist acts or in supporting terrorist acts is brought to justice,
urges all States to ensure that their domestic laws and regulations establish serious
criminal offenses sufficient to provide the ability to prosecute and penalize in a
manner duly reflecting the seriousness of the offence of trafficking in persons
committed with the purpose of supporting terrorist organizations or individual
terrorists, including through the financing of and recruitment for the commission of
terrorist acts;
8.
Stresses that acts of trafficking in persons in armed conflict and sexual
and gender-based violence in conflict, including when it is associated to trafficking
in persons in armed conflict, can be part of the strategic objectives and ideology of,
and used as a tactic by certain terrorist groups, by, inter alia, incentivizing
recruitment; supporting financing through the sale, trade and trafficking of women,
girls and boys; destroying, punishing, subjugating, or controlling communities;
displacing populations from strategically important zones; extracting information
for intelligence purposes from male and female detainees; advancing ideology
which includes the suppression of women’s rights and the use of religious
justification to codify and institutionalize sexual slavery and exert control over
women’s reproduction; and therefore encourages all relevant actors at the national,
regional and international level to ensure that such considerations are taken into
account, in accordance with their obligations under international law and national
laws;
9.
Underlines further that achieving the strategic objectives noted above
may entail the use of various forms of sexual violence in conflict, also when
associated with trafficking in persons in the context of armed conflict, including,
inter alia, rape, sexual slavery, forced prostitution and forced pregnancy, and notes
that these different forms of sexual violence in conflict may require tailored
programmatic responses including specialized medical and psychosocial assistance
and analysis as a basis for action;
10. Affirms that victims of trafficking in persons in all its forms, and of
sexual violence, committed by terrorist groups should be classified as victims of
terrorism with the purpose of rendering them eligible for official support,
recognition and redress available to victims of terrorism, have access to national
relief and reparations programmes, contribute to lifting the sociocultural stigma
attached to this category of crime and facilitate rehabilitation and reintegration
efforts; furthermore emphasizes that survivors should benefit from relief and
recovery programmes, including health care, psychosocial care, safe shelter
livelihood support and legal aid and that services should include provision for
women with children born as a result of wartime rape, as well as men and boys who
may have been victims of sexual violence in conflict, including when it is associated
with trafficking in persons in armed conflict;
