The right to an effective remedy for trafficked persons 2011, para. 41
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- It is beyond the scope of the present report to discuss in detail these aspects of the right to an effective remedy, which raise broader issues such as the efficacy of the judicial system and the obligations of States to prevent trafficking in persons. However, the Special Rapporteur emphasizes that they are essential elements of the right to an effective remedy, without which the ultimate objective of enabling trafficked persons to recover from the harms and rebuild their lives with the full enjoyment of human rights, may not be realized. In particular, guarantees of non-repetition, which include measures to prevent trafficking, constitute an important form of remedy in view of the risks of re-trafficking that trafficked persons may be exposed to. To this end, the Palermo Protocol imposes an obligation on States to undertake various measures aimed at prevention of trafficking, ranging from tackling the root causes to providing or strengthening training of law enforcement officers, immigration and other relevant officials in the prevention of trafficking in persons.
