Trafficking in persons in conflict and post-conflict situations 2016, para. 56a
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- [Rights of victims of trafficking in armed conflict. Victims of trafficking are entitled to the same rights, due diligence protection and prevention against trafficking in persons by States whether in times of conflict or otherwise. These rights include:] Right to be identified. The recommended principles and guidelines on human rights and human trafficking and the commentary to the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking highlight that failure to correctly identify a trafficked person, or to identify her or him at all, will directly affect the ability of that person to access the rights to which she or he is entitled. States are therefore required to take positive steps to identify victims of trafficking accurately and in a timely manner and to ensure that they are referred to appropriate services. During situations of conflict, the risk of identification failures is very high;
