Due diligence and trafficking in persons 2015, para. 15

Paragraph
Paragraph text
The due diligence obligation to protect individuals from traffickers also often intersects and overlaps with other areas of State obligations (e.g., in relation to activities of public institutions). For example, State failures to respect and fulfil human rights in non-discrimination, labour, migration, and education create the conditions conducive to trafficking by third parties. By requiring a human rights-based approach, due diligence enables States to apply all their international obligations in ways that encourage less compartmentalization and more holistic approaches to trafficking to ensure the realization of human rights.
