Kenya has joined leaders of the Group of Seven nations and South Korea in a declaration pledging tougher action against organised networks behind migrant smuggling and human trafficking.
The declaration was adopted at the 52nd G7 Summit in Evian-les-Bains, France, on Tuesday, June 17. It builds on commitments made in earlier G7 leaders' statements issued in Apulia in 2024 and Kananaskis in 2025.
Leaders described migrant smuggling and human trafficking as transnational crimes that erode states' sovereign right to control their borders and expose victims to life-threatening risks.
