Prevention of trafficking in persons 2010, para. 57
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- While these are positive developments, the impact of the Athens Ethical Principles and other "soft" legal instruments is still unclear, and numerous challenges lie ahead in ensuring that businesses are not implicated in human trafficking. Furthermore, such instruments do not reach small or medium-sized enterprises or informal industries in which trafficked persons may often be exploited, such as brothels, clubs, bars, factories, restaurants and recruitment agencies. In addition, such enterprises or industries are less concerned about risk to their reputation, which means that profits may be prioritized over the protection of human rights.
