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.

The right to an effective remedy for trafficked persons 2011, para. 41
- Paragraph text
- It is beyond the scope of the present report to discuss in detail these aspects of the right to an effective remedy, which raise broader issues such as the efficacy of the judicial system and the obligations of States to prevent trafficking in persons. However, the Special Rapporteur emphasizes that they are essential elements of the right to an effective remedy, without which the ultimate objective of enabling trafficked persons to recover from the harms and rebuild their lives with the full enjoyment of human rights, may not be realized. In particular, guarantees of non-repetition, which include measures to prevent trafficking, constitute an important form of remedy in view of the risks of re-trafficking that trafficked persons may be exposed to. To this end, the Palermo Protocol imposes an obligation on States to undertake various measures aimed at prevention of trafficking, ranging from tackling the root causes to providing or strengthening training of law enforcement officers, immigration and other relevant officials in the prevention of trafficking in persons.

A human rights-based approach to the administration of criminal justice in cases of trafficking in persons 2012, para. 27
- Paragraph text
- International bodies, including the Open-ended Interim Working Group on Trafficking in Persons, have confirmed non-prosecution of trafficked persons as the relevant international legal standard. The Recommended Principles and Guidelines on Human Rights and Human Trafficking also provide that trafficked persons "are not to be prosecuted for violations of immigration laws or for the activities they are involved in as a direct consequence of their situation as trafficked persons". Both the Human Rights Council and the General Assembly have made similar recommendations, as have regional bodies and instruments.

The issue of trafficking in persons for the removal of organs 2013, para. 20
- Paragraph text
- The focus of the present report is on one aspect of the broader environment sketched above: the exploitation of persons who are compelled by need or force to provide organs for transplantation to people within their own countries or to foreigners, to use the language of the Doha Communiqué of the Declaration of Istanbul Custodian Group, adopted on 14 April 2013. The terminology around this phenomenon is not settled. Some States and intergovernmental organizations claim that there is a difference between trafficking in organs and trafficking in persons for the removal of organs, with the latter a small subset of the former. The Special Rapporteur considers that the difference is largely semantic, given that organs are not moved or traded independently of their source. Rather, the source is moved or positioned in such a way as to make transplantation possible. Accordingly, it is more accurate to characterize the practice described above as "trafficking in persons for the removal of organs".

The first decade of the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially women and children 2014, para. 29
- Paragraph text
- Country visits and reports. Country visits help to ground the mandate holders' understanding of the problem of trafficking in national realities and forging relationships with those on the front line, while also providing involved States and their partners with an opportunity to access information, expertise and insight. Respondents to the questionnaire, including several States, noted that official missions had influenced shifts in policy and practice around trafficking, for example leading to changes in migration policies, amendments to the national trafficking law and improved cooperation with civil society organizations. Several international organizations noted that the official missions had provided valuable opportunities for stakeholders to convey their views and insights to the higher levels of Government and that the reports were an excellent source of useful, high-quality information.

- Paragraph text
- Strengthening the accountability of non-State actors and the involvement of civil society in combating and preventing trafficking in persons, including lessening the tensions between civil society groups working on trafficking and Governments, is another challenge. Furthermore, while the Special Rapporteur recognizes the power of the media in raising community awareness of trafficking in all its forms and informing vulnerable groups about certain risks, she notes repeated examples of media sensationalism, manifested for example through a prurient and overly narrow focus on sexual exploitation. Failure to protect the privacy of victims adequately; the stigmatization of victims; and fostering confusion between trafficking and other phenomena, such as irregular migration and migrant smuggling, represent further difficulties.

Integration of a human rights-based approach in measures to discourage the demand that fosters all forms of exploitation of persons, especially women and children, and which leads to human trafficking 2013, para. 32
- Paragraph text
- The Coordinated Mekong Ministerial Initiative against Trafficking (COMMIT) adopted in 2004 a Memorandum of Understanding in which Member States recognize the "link between the demand for trafficking and the growing demand for exploitative labour and exploitative sexual services". It also lays emphasis on the importance of bilateral arrangements in "promoting safe, orderly and well-regulated migration as this serves to reduce the demand for illegal migration services which provide opportunities for traffickers" and "encouraging destination countries, including those from outside the Greater Mekong Sub-region to effectively enforce relevant national laws in order to reduce the acceptance of exploitation of persons that fuels the demand for the labour of trafficked persons".

Integration of a human rights-based approach in measures to discourage the demand that fosters all forms of exploitation of persons, especially women and children, and which leads to human trafficking 2013, para. 49
- Paragraph text
- Evidence suggests that when businesses work together to stop human trafficking, they can have a significant impact. For example, 10 food corporations in the United States of America involved in selling fast food, food services and groceries signed what were called "fair food agreements" in 2010 with an organization representing migrant farmworkers. Retailers purchasing large quantities of tomatoes accepted a legal obligation "to cut off purchases in the event slavery is discovered in their supply chain". The agreement came after a consumer boycott of one retailer, organized as a result of a campaign by the migrant farmworkers' organization. The consumer boycott was started after it became known that labourers subjected to forced labour had worked on several farms that were supplying tomatoes to major retailers.

Due diligence and trafficking in persons 2015, para. 34
- Paragraph text
- Under international human rights law, States have an obligation to ensure a right to remedy for victims of human rights violations. As noted earlier, the failure of States to exercise due diligence in relation to trafficking by non-State actors gives rise to an obligation to provide remedies; in this respect, the due diligence principle is a "long-standing exception" to the general rule that State responsibility is based on acts or omissions committed either by State actors or by actors whose actions are attributable to the State. In substance, adequate remedy or reparations include restitution, rehabilitation, compensation, satisfaction and guarantees of non-repetition. The right to an effective remedy encompasses not only these substantive rights to remedies for the harm suffered, but also a set of procedural rights necessary to facilitate access to remedies. Such remedies should have "transformative potential", meaning they should not be about returning individuals to the pre-trafficking context, but should "subvert instead of reinforce pre-existing patterns" that cause violations.

Agenda setting of the work of the Special Rapporteur 2015, para. 12
- Paragraph text
- In fact trafficked persons, like other categories of persons in a migration process, are initially persons pushed into a search for a better life to flee a range of issues, such as poverty, armed conflict, humanitarian crises, torture or other human rights violations, including domestic violence and gender-related persecution. Social and economic vulnerabilities, linguistic isolation, irregular residence status and States' persistent failure to recognize and protect the human rights of vulnerable and/or undocumented migrants contribute to exploitative activities that occur as a result of trafficking in places of origin, transit and destination (A/HRC/26/37/Add.2, para. 46). This is particularly prevalent in some sectors in countries of destination that have a rapidly growing demand for low-cost, low-skilled migrant labour, and that are thus prone to labour exploitation.

- The benefit of trained law enforcement, peacekeeping and humanitarian personnel has also been mentioned both by States and by other entities active in the field as a means of preventing trafficking in persons, especially women and children. In this regard, several examples of successful joint cooperation between States to train law enforcement officials and to conduct joint anti-trafficking operations were mentioned, including the recent joint exercises between European and African law enforcement officials organized by the Centre of Excellence for Stability Police Units and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, which were focused on reducing human trafficking along migrant routes.

Trafficking in persons in conflict and post-conflict situations 2016, para. 19
- Paragraph text
- Conflict-related violence, such as sexual violence, can itself be a driver of forced internal displacement, which in turn increases vulnerability to further exploitation, including through trafficking. For instance, sexual violence by armed groups has forced ethnic minority women and girls in remote rural areas away from their communities and placed them at greater risk of trafficking within the country as well as overseas. Additionally, worsening security situations and overcrowded camps with inadequate basic services cause some internally displaced persons to risk crossing borders in an irregular manner in search of employment, putting themselves at high risk of exploitation because of their lack of legal status. Military attacks on camps further worsens displacement and causes undocumented internally displaced persons, including women and unaccompanied children, to flee their camps, exposing them to the risk of being exploited or trafficked.

Prevention of trafficking in persons 2010, para. 38
- Paragraph text
- From this perspective, the Special Rapporteur believes that it is important to address the lack of regulations and labour rights as one of the key structural factors fostering trafficking in persons, whether for sexual exploitation or labour exploitation. In destination countries, the exploitation of migrant workers often takes place in the context of economic activity that is illegal or informal, or poorly regulated or unregulated, or in sectors in which it is difficult to enforce regulatory controls and profit margins are extremely low (CTOC/COP/WG.4/2010/3/para. 15). Indeed, studies show that the demand for exploitative labour or services is almost completely absent where workers are well unionized and labour standards are routinely monitored and enforced. Therefore, it is imperative to address the demand for cheap and exploitable labour and services through the framework of labour rights protection and migration management. A good example of regulation in sectors where trafficked persons are found is the introduction by the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland of the Gangmasters (Licensing) Act in 2004, which created a compulsory licensing system for all employment agents supplying workers for agricultural activities, gathering shellfish and related processing and packaging activities, supervised by a special licensing authority. Thus, reforming employment laws to check abuses in sectors that have formerly gone unpoliced, such as domestic work in private houses or training and deploying labour inspectors or other officials to check the contracts and working conditions of migrant workers is imperative for preventing trafficking for exploitative labour.

The issue of human trafficking in supply chains 2012, para. 9
- Paragraph text
- Businesses may be linked to human trafficking in various ways. They may be directly implicated in the crime of trafficking when they recruit, transport, harbour or receive persons for the purpose of exploitation during the course of their business. This may occur with or without the knowledge of the management or if the company has recruited the persons itself or through a third party, such as a private recruitment agency. For example, the construction industry has been linked to trafficking in this manner, exploiting internal or international migrants supplied through informal and clandestine recruitment systems.

The issue of trafficking in persons for the removal of organs 2013, para. 47
- Paragraph text
- The identification of removal of organs as an exploitative purpose of trafficking in persons is a major step forward in changing this unsatisfactory situation. The opportunities presented by the development of a robust international legal framework around trafficking in persons have not yet been fully taken up, however. One of the principal reasons for the failure to leverage the trafficking in persons framework against transplantation-related exploitation is the persistent attachment of some States and intergovernmental organizations to a distinction between trafficking in organs and trafficking in persons for removal of organs. As shown above, this distinction is largely unjustified because the principal issue of focus, the exploitation of persons who are compelled by need or force to provide organs for transplantation to people within their own countries or to foreigners, falls squarely within the international legal definition of trafficking in persons.

Integration of a human rights-based approach in measures to discourage the demand that fosters all forms of exploitation of persons, especially women and children, and which leads to human trafficking 2013, para. 14
- Paragraph text
- In the context of demand that fosters exploitation of persons and leads to trafficking in persons, one can differentiate direct and derived demands. Direct demand is for a service which is specifically provided by a person who has been subjected to one of the forms of exploitation listed in the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (Trafficking in Persons Protocol). Demand is also direct when it is for goods produced by a person who has been trafficked and subjected to one of these forms of exploitation. Examples of direct demand are: for domestic workers or care workers who have no alternative but to obey. Such demand is routinely for either migrants or children, in conditions where the workers concerned are unable (or unauthorized) to leave their employer - conditions which are sometimes due directly to legislation in force in the State concerned and sometimes a lack of protection measures, particularly child protection measures - for particular commercial sexual services which are not available from someone who has not been trafficked. "Derived demand" is not directly for the services of a trafficked or exploited person or for a commodity which they have helped produce, but for something else, usually for products or services that are particularly cheap. However, in some circumstances it is apparent that the service or commodity in question is highly unlikely to be available unless provided by trafficked persons. Examples of derived demand are: employer demand for cheap and docile workers; demand from businesses or institutions for the products or services of others (i.e., with what is called a "supply chain"), sometimes in other countries; consumer demand for cheap goods or particular services.

Agenda setting of the work of the Special Rapporteur 2015, para. 11
- Paragraph text
- Trafficking in persons, especially women and children, is a multifaceted issue that is often interlinked with so-called mixed migration flows, encompassing various categories of persons on the move, including refugees, asylum seekers, economic migrants and other migrants travelling, mostly in an irregular manner, along similar routes, using similar means of travel, but for different reasons. Trafficking victims do not necessarily immediately enter the mixed migration flow process as trafficked persons, but might become trafficked during their journey or when they reach a transit or destination country. Their migration might often have started out through smuggling, but then have turned into trafficking at a later stage. Initial consent to a migration project, be it regular or irregular, does not imply that a case has necessarily to be qualified as smuggling. Rather, when migrants are placed in abusive and exploitative situations during their journey or at their destination, and when their rights are drastically limited or completely denied, the case in question has to be qualified as trafficking in persons.

Trafficking in persons in conflict and post-conflict situations 2016, para. 18
- Paragraph text
- Criminal networks specifically target impoverished communities, including the internally displaced, in order to exploit their vulnerabilities. Poor and displaced families may entrust the care of their children to traffickers who promise to provide them with education or skills training, but ultimately exploit them for the purposes of prostitution, forced labour and domestic servitude, or irregular adoption. Internally displaced women and girls are often disproportionately affected by loss of livelihoods during displacement (A/HRC/23/44, para. 46). In Jordan for example, Syrian refugees and asylum seekers, including children as young as 3 years old, are lured to work illegally for low wages to sustain families, which puts them at risk of trafficking (A/HRC/32/41/Add.1, para. 11).

Trafficking in persons in conflict and post-conflict situations 2016, para. 39
- Paragraph text
- Post-conflict situations are typically characterized by absent or dysfunctional justice and law enforcement institutions, and consequently by: a climate of impunity that fosters violent criminal networks; high levels of poverty and lack of basic resources; significant inequality; large populations of highly vulnerable individuals (displaced persons, returnees, widows, unaccompanied children); fractured communities and lack of trust; and militarized societies tolerant of extreme levels of violence. These features render men, women and children in post-conflict societies especially vulnerable to trafficking.
