At the end of June 2009, the Special Rapporteur, together with the Special Rapporteur on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography and the Special Rapporteur on the human rights aspects of the victims of trafficking in persons, especially women and children, organized a seminar with the aim of discussing the methods of work of the three mandates and developing practical modalities of collaboration between the three special rapporteurs, as well as between the special rapporteurs and United Nations agencies, NGOs and other United Nations human rights mechanisms.
