In its decision 4/4, the Conference underlined the need to continue to work towards a comprehensive and coordinated approach to address the problem of trafficking in persons through the appropriate national, regional and international mechanisms; and acknowledged that the Trafficking in Persons Protocol was the principal legally binding global instrument to combat trafficking in persons.
In the same decision, the Conference decided to establish an open-ended interim working group to advise and assist it in the implementation of its mandate with regard to the Trafficking in Persons Protocol. The working group met on 14 and 15 April 2009 and from 27 to 29 January 2010, and it met again during the fifth session of the Conference.
