Due diligence and trafficking in persons 2015, para. 22
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Good practices in prevention should also address all types of trafficking. For example, good practices to combat trafficking in persons for the purpose of domestic servitude in diplomatic households include that undertaken in Austria, where authorities request that foreigners who seek to work for a diplomatic household have a written contract that complies with Austrian labour law. Workers must also apply in person for a diplomatic legitimation card, giving Austrian authorities, "an opportunity to interview the applicants, examine their work contracts, and inform them of their rights and obligations while in Austria and of the contact details of NGOs which could be of assistance." Good practices to prevent labour trafficking include States regulating the supply of workers to sectors by controlling the licensing of employment agencies working in these fields. For example, in the United Kingdom, the Gangmasters Licensing Authority regulates the supply of workers in certain labour-intensive industries (e.g., agriculture, horticulture, forestry, fishing, food processing).
