The right to an effective remedy for trafficked persons 2011, para. 16
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur also noted in the Human Rights Council report that returning a trafficked person to his or her country of origin may not be an appropriate form of remedy where he or she has lost legal, cultural or social ties with the country of origin and it is no longer in his or her best interest to return to it. For instance, it is conceivable that a child who is trafficked to another country and perpetuated in this situation over decades may lose his or her social and cultural identity in the country of origin. Where these factors exist, restitution may involve reintegration of the trafficked person into the host community or resettlement in a third country.
