Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Special Rapporteur generally welcomes the unilateral compliance mechanism established by the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons of the Department of State of the United States of America, which undertakes an annual assessment of the trafficking situation in States worldwide and the quality of national responses. However, she cautions that the criteria used to assess national performance should be explicitly based on international standards. That is not just essential to the credibility of the mechanism, it is also an important way to strengthen the international legal framework and affirm its key standards.
