A human rights-based approach to the administration of criminal justice in cases of trafficking in persons 2012, para. 65
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The strength of criminal justice responses to trafficking are partly reflected by the incorporation of internationally accepted procedural guarantees for the accused. The provision of protection and support for victims must be balanced against respect for the rights of those accused of trafficking crimes. Failure to provide for the rights of the accused could compromise the integrity of proceedings and undermine trust in the justice process.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially in women and children
