A human rights-based approach to the administration of criminal justice in cases of trafficking in persons 2012, para. 80
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Special Rapporteur notes that linking asset seizure to victim support is in line with a rights-based approach to human trafficking. Recovered assets can be a key source of funds when providing victims with compensation. The Special Rapporteur reminds States that trafficking victims have a right to compensation for the harm committed against them. Indeed, article 6, paragraph 6 of the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children provides that States parties legal systems must take measures that offer the possibility of compensation to victims.
