A conference on the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings took place on 8-9 November 2016 in Ankara, Turkey. The conference, which was co-organised by the Anti-Trafficking Division of the Council of Europe and the Directorate General of Migration Management of the Ministry of the Interior of Turkey, followed the entry into force of the Convention in respect of Turkey on 1 September 2016. The event brought together some 60 representatives of governmental agencies and non-governmental and international organisations active in combating human trafficking in Turkey who discussed the provisions of the Convention and the monitoring process of its implementation. The first round of evaluation of the implementation of the Convention by Turkey by GRETA will be launched in the autumn of 2017.
