It is important to foreign relations and intelligence official of the State that information available to them is of the utmost accuracy.

    Because it is nearly impossible to obtain any accurate information about the real extent of criminal activities that go undetected, there has been little research on human trafficking. There has ben reported estimates that the number of women and children that were expected to be trafficked during the 2010 Soccer World Cup ranged from 38.000 to 100,000. The author of this article believes that many of these numbers are overly exaggerated and unsubstantiated.

    The actual number of human trafficking victims is unable to be determined. This is because there is not an official database on human trafficking. It is hard for some police officials to positively identify trafficking cases. In some cases many people do not even recognize they are victims of the crime.

    A feature on Magnum's website showing the work of Moises Saman and his documentation of foreign volunteers fighting with the YPG in Syria. I think the work is stunning and it will end up being a historically significant record of a few brave people willing to join the fight even though it wasn't their own.

The article talks about the Europeans not being able to come to a consensus on what to do with refugees. Additionally the page has a video of the protesters attempting to break through the barricade, which in response Macedonian authorities indiscriminately fired tear gas into a crowd including small children.

    Because there are many instances of human trafficking that go unreported, it is impossible to determine the amount of victims who have been part of human trafficking. Uganda is a major source and destination for human trafficking of men, women, and children. Kenya is another country that is a major source and destination and both of these countries are ranked as Tier 2.
