Due diligence and trafficking in persons 2015, para. 35
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The right to an effective remedy for victims of trafficking in persons should be interpreted and applied without discrimination, including to non-citizens. A victim-centred and human rights-based approach to remedies centres the human rights of trafficked persons in all efforts to prevent and combat trafficking and to protect, assist and provide redress to victims. This includes ensuring that anti-trafficking measures do not adversely impact the human rights of victims of trafficking in persons and non-conditionality of victims' access to remedies, meaning that remedies, including assistance and protection, must not be dependent on the victim's willingness to cooperate with authorities. For example, in Moldova the Government provides a minimum assistance package that includes physical, psychological and social recovery measures, where access to "assistance should not be dependent on the victim's willingness to participate in the prosecution of traffickers."
