The issue of trafficking in persons for the removal of organs 2013, para. 100
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The development of new international legal regimes around trafficking in persons for the removal of organs should be based on a thorough review of the strengths and weaknesses of existing international legal regimes and seek to add substantive value to those regimes, while avoiding confusion and unnecessary duplication. It will be particularly important to ensure that new instruments, such as the proposed Council of Europe convention against trafficking in human organs, do not place victims in a less favourable position than they would otherwise be in under existing legal instruments dealing with trafficking in persons.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially in women and children
