The right to an effective remedy for trafficked persons 2011, para. 49
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The ability of trafficked persons to claim remedies hinges upon possibilities to remain in countries where remedies are sought, as it would be difficult for them to obtain remedies if they were at risk of expulsion or had already been expelled from the countries. In many instances, however, trafficked persons are misidentified as irregular migrants and detained in immigration detention centres, or immediately deported without being given any opportunities to seek compensation.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially in women and children
