The UNHCR Strategy suggests targeted interventions to address the protection needs of refugees, asylum-seekers and stateless persons affected by smuggling and trafficking in the region, through coordination and partnerships for a regional and solutions-oriented approach. It further notes that collaborative national and regional action with States, mandated organisations and key stakeholders is considered the best way forward to address the various stages of the phenomenon.
