A human rights-based approach to the administration of criminal justice in cases of trafficking in persons 2012, para. 22
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The Special Rapporteur observes, however, that legislation is not an end in itself. Even in States with strong anti-trafficking measures, laws are sometimes not enforced or there is a lack of implementing regulations. Indeed, certain countries with strong legal platforms are sometimes described as safe havens because they do not enforce their own laws.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially in women and children
