The right to an effective remedy for trafficked persons 2011, para. 61
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The importance of implementing this right in a holistic manner has received peripheral attention by States, which instead tend to focus on criminal justice responses. Trafficked persons are often seen as "instruments" of criminal investigation, rather than as holders of rights. In many States, trafficked persons do not receive remedies in a holistic manner as a matter of right, but are only provided with ad hoc measures which are effectively by-products of criminal investigation, such as temporary residence permits contingent upon cooperation with law enforcement authorities and assistance in recovery which is in turn tied to temporary residence permits. Trafficked persons are rarely known to have received compensation, as they are often not provided with the information, legal and other assistance and residence status necessary to access it. At worst, many trafficked persons are wrongly identified as irregular migrants, detained and deported before they have an opportunity to even consider seeking remedies.
