    SUBJECT: CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT AFFECTING TIP PROGRESS

    REF: QUITO 976

    ¶1.  (U) Summary:  President Palacio is appointing new heads,
    subsecretaries, and directors of all ministries, and the
    turnover will slow down progress on key issues including
    trafficking in persons (TIP).  Changes in the ministry of
    government, which heads the GOE's fight against TIP, are
    ongoing.  On April 28, the Ambassador met with the First Lady
    and encouraged her to cooperate with us to combat TIP
    (reftel).  President of Congress Wilfredo Lucero said he
    would prioritize pending TIP legislation, but first he must
    deal with other key legislation.  CONAMU (the National's
    Commission on Women) recently signed an agreement with UNICEF
    to establish a network of services for victims of sexual
    exploitation in underserved areas.  With ongoing changes in
    the Government, we are redoubling our advocacy efforts.  End
    Summary.

    Large Turnover in All Government Ministries
    -------------------------------------------

    ¶2.  (U) In the aftermath of former President Lucio
    Gutierrez's removal, President Palacio will replace all
    ministers (three remain to be named), subsecretaries, and
    most other political appointees in all ministries.  The GOE
    is currently functioning at partial capacity while
    replacements are named.  GOE work on TIP and other mission
    priorities is on hold while the GOE reconfigures itself.

    ¶3.  (U) Palacio and his advisors are in the process of
    appointing new government officials, including the players
    who will influence the government's fight against
    trafficking.  The new Minister of Government Mauricio
    Gandara, head of the inter-institutional TIP committee, is
    choosing his staff and setting his priorities.  He has
    appointed one vice minister, Juan Carlos Guzman, but has not
    yet engaged with us on TIP issues. specified whether he or
    someone else will handle TIP.

    ¶4.  (U) Changes in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the
    police will have less effect on TIP.  A human rights officer
    at the MFA told PolOff on April 26 that she did not expect
    new FM Antonio Parra to make changes in her office, which
    handles TIP.  A new national director of DINAPEN (the police
    that protect children and adolescents) was named just before
    the change in government.  It is unknown whether this
    position will change again.

    Ambassador Discusses TIP with First Lady
    ----------------------------------------

    ¶5.  (U) The Ambassador met with First Lady Maria Paret de
    Palacio on April 28 emphasizing the importance of combating
    TIP (reftel).  Paret agreed, but is still in the initial
    stages of taking over INNFA, the national children's
    organization and a member of the GOE's inter-institutional
    trafficking committee.  The Ambassador provided her with
    background materials on the subjects and emphasized the
    Embassy's desire to collaborate with INNFA.

    Congress to Prioritize TIP but Many Urgent Issues
    --------------------------------------------- ----

    ¶6.  (SBU) On May 2, PolChief and PolOff met with President of
    Congress Wilfredo Lucero, who said he personally was
    concerned about child prostitution and the effect of TIP on
    children.  He will prioritize pending legislation to
    criminalize TIP and related crimes, he said, but first
    Congress must resolve several critical issues:  the
    re-composition of the courts and congressional committees and
    the election of a vice president and a second vice president
    to Congress.  Lucero said he hoped Cynthia Viteri would be
    president of the Commission on Civil and Criminal
    Legislation.  (Comment:  If true, this could be good news.
    Viteri presided over the committee through December 2004 and
    actively participated in the first version of the TIP
    legislation that Congress reviewed.)

    CONAMU Forges Ahead Against Trafficking
    ---------------------------------------

    ¶7.  (SBU) In contrast to the personnel shifts in government
    ministries, Director of the independent agency CONAMU (the
    National Commission on Women) Rocio Rosero on April 29, who
    said there would be no changes in her organization.  She
    emphasized that CONAMU has continuing working behind the
    scenes to fight TIP.  She met with Minister of Government
    Gandara on April 28 and briefed him on trafficking and
    commercial sexual exploitation.  Rosero described Gandara as
    open and knowledgeable about these topics.  She considered
    him an improvement over previous ministers.

    ¶8.  (U) CONAMU has moved forward against trafficking, Rosero
    said.  CONAMU recently signed a $40,000 agreement with UNICEF
    to develop networks of services for victims of sexual
    exploitation and expects to receive funds next weeks.  The
    networks will operate in the oil town Lago Agrio, Manta, and
    Atacames (a beach resort in Esmeraldas province).  CONAMU
    also received funds from the International Labor Organization
    to hire a full-time expert to advise and assist the GOE's
    inter-institutional TIP committee through the end of the year.

    ¶9.  (U) Rosero said she is committed to increased public
    awareness of TIP.  She spoke on a radio show on April 28
    about the implications of trafficking, alien smuggling, and
    sexual exploitation for families.  She will advocate legal
    reform to combat TIP in other media.

    Education Process Critical
    --------------------------

    ¶10.  (U) Comment:  With the changes in government across all
    ministries, we are largely starting over with the new
    government's leaders, educating them about trafficking and
    U.S. policy.  The new majority in Congress seems intent on
    making progress on various fronts; we will continue to
    advocate early attention to legislative reforms.
