A human rights-based approach to the administration of criminal justice in cases of trafficking in persons 2012, para. 35
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- In response to Special Rapporteur's questionnaire on specific actions taken by Governments to facilitate quick and accurate identification of trafficking victims, numerous responses, in particular from Estonia, Finland, Georgia, Germany, Japan, Lithuania, Malta, the Netherlands, Romania, and Sweden, indicated that task force or agencies coordinating in country anti-trafficking work have organized specialized training sessions to enhance the capacity of front-line officers, especially the police, immigration, border guards and labour inspectors, to identify actual and potential trafficking victims and to make referrals to appropriate services. Most of the sessions were carried out in collaboration and/or with funding from international organizations, including IOM, ILO, UNODC, the European Union, the United States Agency for International Development, the Asia Regional Trafficking in Persons Project and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency. Some Governments have gone even further to develop national referral mechanisms, standard operating procedures or brochures, manuals, handbooks and/or other tool kits to build capacity and raise awareness to facilitate rapid and accurate identification of victims.
