Prevention of trafficking in persons 2010, para. 15
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Through the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Member States pledged to promote universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms. In combating trafficking in persons, this is a fundamental starting point that which warrants more attention than it currently receives, as violations of human rights are both a cause and a consequence of trafficking in persons (E/2002/68/Add.1, guideline 1). Thus, universal respect for human rights must be ensured not only as a goal in itself, but also as a means of preventing trafficking in persons while placing the human rights of trafficked persons at the centre of all prevention efforts.
