Local authorities to help fight human trafficking 31-08-2006 The president of the Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR),
and mayor of Vienna, Michael Häupl, calls on Europe's local and regional
governments to support the Council of Europe's Declaration on the fight against
trafficking in human beings.
Michael Häupl signed the Declaration on 30 August 2006. As mayor of Vienna,
he said, “I wanted to publicly commit myself to submit the declaration to
Vienna's elected bodies, whereas as CEMR president I wanted to make a stand on
behalf of Europe's towns and regions. Human trafficking is unacceptable, and
since this is primarily a local issue, the solutions can be found mainly at
local level. Therefore, I call on Europe's local and regional leaders to support
this initiative. CEMR has always been deeply committed to human rights issues”.
