ile ilgili tutuklanan kifli say›s›n›n 100 oldu¤unu, 43
vakan›n da yarg› sürecine tabi tutuldu¤u bilgisini
vererek, Estonya gibi küçük bir ülke için bu rakam-
lar›n yüksek oldu¤unu söyledi. Ülke olarak insan ti-
caretini önleme kapsam›nda yapt›klar› çal›flmalar ve
düzenlemelerle ilgili bilgi veren Rüütel, bu kapsam-
da BM’nin insan haklar› ofisiyle faal flekilde iflbirli-
¤i yapt›klar›n›, özellikle kad›n istismar› konusunda
devlet programlar›nda farkl› etkinlik ve projeler ger-
çeklefltirdiklerini bildirdi. Arnold Rüütel, konuflma-
s›nda zorunlu göç kavram›na da de¤indi. Zorunlu
göçün flimdiye dek, son y›llarda görülen rakamlara
hiç ç›kmad›¤›n› hat›rlatan Rüütel, konuflmas›na flöy-
le devam etti: “2012 de¤erlendirmelerine göre zo-
runlu göçmen say›s› 15 milyon 400 bine ulaflm›flt›r.
Göç baflvuru say›s› da 937 bin olmufltur. 28 milyon
800 bin kifli ise kendi ülkesi içinde zorunlu göçe ta-
bi tutulmufl. 2011 y›l›nda AB’de 7 milyon 600 bin ki-
fli yafl›yordu, bu kifliler di¤er bölgelerden AB ülke-
lerine göç eden kifli say›s›. Eski Sovyet Sosyalist
Cumhuriyetler Birli¤i (SSCB) ülkelerinden gelen göç-
le ilgili de büyük tehdit var. Mesela, Estonya yeni-
den ba¤›ms›zl›¤›n› kazand›ktan sonra her y›l 80 bin
kifli yeniden Estonya’ya göç ediyordu.”
Rüütel, genel olarak yap›lmas› gerekenleri ise sanlar için dönüfl flartlar›n› haz›rlamas› ve iyilefltir-
flöyle aktard›: “Zorunlu göçün önüne geçmeyi, an- mesi gerekiyor.” BM’nin bu konuda daha etkili mü-
cak insanlar›n bulundu¤u ülkede flartlar›n› iyilefltir- dahil olmas›n› istediklerini belirterek, “21. yüzy›lda
mekle baflarabiliriz. Herhangi bir nedenle insanlar yafl›yoruz ve bu zamanda art›k köle ticaretinden
kendi ülkelerinden zorunlu olarak ç›kar›lm›flsa, göç bahsetmek gerçekten utanç verici ve bununla mü-
etmek zorunda kalm›flsa, kendi ülkelerinin bu in- cadele çok s›k› flekilde devam etmeli” dedi.
