On May 27, 2016 Vienna hosted 25th session of the United Nations Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice. At the session, resolution “Preventing and combating trafficking in human organs and trafficking in persons for the purpose of organ removal” sponsored by Belarus was adopted.

The Belarussian initiative is aimed at attracting broad international attention to such emerging transnational crime as trafficking in human organs. The discussion on Belarussian draft resolution demonstrated the importance of this topic both in the context of rapid development of transplantation medicine and also due to the appearance of information about growing involvement of terrorist groups in crime of human organ trafficking.

The resolution mandates the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime to conduct a study on the issue of trafficking in human organs in cooperation with Member States and interested international organizations.

The Belarussian resolution was co-sponsored by Cuba, Ecuador, Indonesia, Russia, Serbia and Spain.
