There comes a time in
life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You
surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on
the good. So, love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don´t.
Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part ...of
LIFE...Getting back up is LIVING!
Act to combat human trafficking gets ABA House of
Delegates’ approval
The ABA House of Delegates on Monday
overwhelmingly approved as policy Resolution 102, which supports a legislative
template produced and promulgated by the National Conference of Commissioners
on Uniform Laws for states to adopt laws against human trafficking.
It is titled the Uniform Prevention of and Remedies for Human
Trafficking Act. Known as modern-day slavery, human trafficking has increased
in recent years. The two most prevalent forms are commercial sex and labor,
such as domestic workers, and the arrangements usually come about as a result
of fraud and deception. The NCCUSL was responding to a proposal from the ABA
Center for Human Rights. The battle against human trafficking was a signature
project of Laurel Bellows during her 2012-2013 term as ABA president.
The resolution was sponsored by the Tort
Trial & Insurance Practice Section; the Center for
Human Rights and the Section of Individual Rights and Responsibilities.
