The right to an effective remedy for trafficked persons 2011, para. 71
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Where State-funded compensation schemes for victims of crime exist, States should abolish eligibility criteria which have the effect of preventing trafficked persons from seeking compensation, such as nationality and long-term residence requirements. Where no compensation scheme exists, States should consider establishing one that provides compensation to trafficked persons and using confiscated assets and tax deductible voluntary donations to finance such a scheme. Compensation through such scheme should be available to all groups of trafficked persons on a non-discriminatory basis.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
