English/Español: Rubio Criticizes State Department’s 2023 Trafficking in Persons Report
In its annual Trafficking in Persons Report, the U.S. State Department evaluates the status of the government’s efforts to counter human trafficking and highlights the best strategies to diminish this global evil.
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued a statement criticizing the release of the State Department’s 2023 Trafficking in Persons Report:
-
“Human trafficking is a global tragedy that can only be countered if nations unite and fight against this evil. Democratic nations worldwide have a moral duty to hold oppressors accountable. The U.S. must continue to lead by example in pursuit of both justice and accountability.
-
“It is absurd and shameful that the State Department’s summary report fails to highlight two of the most alarming instances of modern-day slavery. Starting with China’s acts of genocide against the Uyghur population, where individuals are subjected to forced labor and unjust mass detentions, as well as Cuba’s ‘medical brigades,’ which are nothing more than a profit-driven scheme led by the island’s criminal regime.
-
“Burying these human rights violations in the individual country reports means most people and reporters will assume the U.S. government does not take heinous crimes in China and Cuba seriously.” — Senator Rubio

RUBIO CRÍTICA INFORME DEL 2023 SOBRE LA TRATA DE PERSONAS DEL DEPARTAMENTO DE ESTADO
En su informe anual sobre la Trata de Personas, el Departamento de Estado de EE.UU. analiza el estado de los esfuerzos del gobierno para contrarrestar la trata de personas y destaca las mejores estrategias para disminuir este mal a nivel mundial.
El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) emitió un comunicado en la que critica la publicación del informe del 2023 sobre la Trata de Personas del Departamento de Estado:
-
“La trata de personas es una tragedia mundial que solo puede contrarrestarse si las naciones se unen y luchan conjuntamente contra este mal. Las naciones democráticas de todo el mundo tienen el deber moral de responsabilizar a los opresores. EE.UU. debe seguir liderando con su ejemplo en la lucha por la justicia y la rendición de cuentas.
-
“Es absurdo y vergonzoso que el informe resumido del Departamento de Estado no resalte dos de los casos más alarmantes de la esclavitud moderna. Comenzando con los actos de genocidio cometidos por China contra los uigures, donde estos individuos son sometidos a trabajos forzados y detenciones masivas injustas, así como a las ‘brigadas médicas’ de Cuba, que no son más que un esquema lucrativo liderado por el régimen criminal de la isla.
-
“El enterrar estas violaciones de DD.HH. en el informe individual de cada país significa que la mayoría de la gente y periodistas supondrán que el gobierno de EE.UU. no toma los crímenes atroces en China y Cuba en serio.” — Senador Rubio
