The first decade of the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially women and children 2014, para. 47
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- From the inception of the mandate, both the Special Rapporteurs have clearly affirmed the right of victims of trafficking to access remedies for the harms committed against them. In country reports, both mandate holders have consistently examined the extent to which this right is protected by law and realized in practice. This has revealed that trafficked persons are frequently left without remedies or the support necessary to access them, a situation that exacerbates the risk of further human rights violations including through retrafficking. It was on the basis of insights gained through her country visits and information received through other activities, including her assessment of regional response mechanisms, that the Special Rapporteur decided to make effective remedies for victims the subject of more systematic and detailed attention. To that end she organized an expert consultation in 2010 that was followed by an online discussion forum and an interactive dialogue held during the seventeenth session of the Human Rights Council in the context of her thematic reports on the subject (A/HRC/17/35 and A/66/28). Regional consultations were held during 2013 and early 2014 to disseminate, discuss and refine a set of draft basic principles on the right to an effective remedy for trafficked persons.
