The right to an effective remedy for trafficked persons 2011, para. 19
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- At the procedural level, victims of human rights violations must be guaranteed access to a competent and independent authority in order to successfully obtain reparations. Such an authority must have the power to investigate and decide whether a human rights violation has taken place, and if so, to enforce reparations. If the victims are to be provided with meaningful access to such an authority, they must be guaranteed of a set of ancillary rights. First, the victims should be provided with relevant information concerning the right that has been violated, and on the existence of, and modalities for gaining access to, reparation mechanisms. Secondly, they should be provided with legal, medical, psychological, social, administrative and any other assistance that they may require in order to exercise the right to an effective remedy in a meaningful manner.
