US-DIPLOMACY-KERRY-TRAFFICKING
US Secretary of State John Kerry presents Laura Anyola Tufon of Cameroon with a Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Heroes' award during an event releasing the Annual Trafficking in Persons Report (TIP) Report at the State Department in Washington, DC, June 19, 2013. The award recognizes individuals around the world who have devoted their lives to fight against human trafficking. The United States on Wednesday downgraded China, Russia and Uzbekistan to the bottom of a US table for failing to make greater efforts to combat human trafficking, a move that may spark sanctions. Three other countries, however -- Azerbaijan, the Congo and Iraq -- were elevated off the watch list to Tier 2 status as a reward for what US officials called "real movement" in the fight against trafficking and slavery. The US estimates that about 27 million remain enslaved around the world. AFP PHOTO / Saul LOEB
