Regional and subregional cooperation in promoting a human rights-based approach to combatting trafficking in persons 2010, para. 82
Párrafo
Paragraph text
The Ouagadougou Action Plan underlines some major issues with regard to the participation of victims in judicial proceedings. In particular, while encouraging victims of trafficking to testify in the investigation and prosecution, States are urged to give due consideration to the safety and security of victims and witnesses at all stages of legal proceedings, in particular with regard to children. It also calls upon States to adopt specific measures to avoid criminalization of victims of trafficking, as well as the stigmatization and the risk of re-victimization. Finally, it invites States to consider legislation to provide for administrative, civil or criminal liability of legal persons or their representatives for trafficking offences in addition to the liability of natural persons.
