Paragraph
A human rights-based approach to the administration of criminal justice in cases of trafficking in persons 2012, para. 71
- Paragraph text
- While extradition is instrumental in ensuring the efficient prosecution of suspected traffickers, thereby upholding the interests of both the victim and the State, the Special Rapporteur notes the importance of ensuring a rights-based approach to extradition, which would require consideration of the human rights implications of action at all stages of the extradition process. Such safeguards include an evidentiary test to protect individuals from being extradited on the basis of groundless allegations and/or from requests made in bad faith or to punish a person on account of their race, sex, religion, nationality, ethnic origin or political opinions. The Special Rapporteur also emphasizes the fact that the right to a fair trial, as provided for in articles 9, 14, 15 and 16 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, must apply to all extradited persons. Similarly, the principle of non-refoulement prohibits the return of a person where she or he would suffer discrimination or where this would result in the extradited individual being subjected to torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

Paragraph
A human rights-based approach to the administration of criminal justice in cases of trafficking in persons 2012, para. 74
- Paragraph text
- In addition to training, efforts to organize, empower and coordinate the activities of criminal justice officials and agencies are important in building the capacity of national responses. Lack of commitment or knowledge on the part of prosecutors and judges may result in poorly prepared legal arguments and briefs, improper application of the law, inappropriate sentencing, ineffective use of witnesses or evidence and insufficient attention to protection for victims. Lastly, lack of cooperation between police and prosecutors diminishes the effectiveness of the criminal justice response.
