Comment faire face au trafic d’organes ? Le point de vue du Declaration of Istanbul Custodian Group

The Declaration of Istanbul Custodian Group (DICG) was established in 2010 to promote the principles of the Declaration of Istanbul on Organ Traffi cking and Transplant Tourism, and to encourage and assist in their implementation in policy and practice throughout the world. In this paper, I review the work undertaken by the DICG and discuss the important and multifaceted role that health professionals must play in eff orts to combat organ traffi cking. The evolution of transplant “tourism” and the shifting dynamics of the international organ trade present complex challenges, and health professionals are well placed to identify and develop new solutions to these persisting problems.
