- Paragraph text
- OAS is strongly engaged in combating human trafficking on the American continent. At the political level, the OAS General Assembly has adopted resolutions that express the commitment of member States in this regard. At the level of the secretariat, the OAS Anti-Trafficking in Persons Unit provides specialized training and assistance to member countries to implement the Palermo Protocol and the recommendations stemming from the OAS Meetings of National Authorities on Trafficking in Persons. The secretariat primarily focuses on awareness-raising, provision of training, dissemination of international legal frameworks and the sharing of good practices to enable States to combat trafficking more effectively, taking both a human-rights and a gender perspective.

- Paragraph text
- The work of the EU on anti-trafficking has become an important part of its agenda in the last 10 years, notably with the adoption in 2002 of the Framework Decision on combating trafficking in human beings (which is currently being revised) and the 2004 Directive on the residence permit issued to Non-EU member country nationals who are victims of trafficking in human beings and who cooperate with the competent authorities (Council Directive 2004/81/EC). An Expert Group on Trafficking in Human Beings was established in 2003, and the action plan on strengthening the EU external dimension on action against trafficking in human beings was adopted in 2009. Amongst the main tasks of the EU are the development of policies and legislation, the provision of financial and political support for anti-trafficking projects and the provision of guidelines and technical assistance at the national level.

- Another key element appears to be the establishment of regional monitoring bodies to meet regularly and review the degree of implementation of normative instruments and related workplans. For example, SAARC established a Regional Task Force in 2006, which meets yearly to monitor and assess the implementation of the Convention. OSCE created the mandate of the Special Representative, who publishes annual reports providing an assessment of the Action Plan's implementation, the activities conducted and the related achievements. The CoE has established a monitoring mechanism based on two pillars: the Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings (GRETA), composed of independent experts, and a Committee of the Parties, a political body. GRETA reviews the implementation of the convention by the parties and publishes recommendations to the Committee of the Parties, which also makes recommendations on measures to be taken by parties to implement GRETA's conclusions.

- Paragraph text
- In this context, a number of regional organizations have embarked on regional cooperation activities in this area, with very different modalities. In some cases, organizations created with broad cooperation objectives decided to include the fight against trafficking in their activities. In other cases, new regional cooperation mechanisms have been created solely for the purpose of combating trafficking in persons. However, a number of them still do not address the trafficking phenomenon in a comprehensive manner, failing to take a victim-centred and human rights-based approach to combating human trafficking.

- ECOWAS and ECCAS decided to combine their efforts and, in July 2006, adopted a joint biregional plan of action for the period 2006-2008, together with a resolution and a multilateral cooperation agreement. This biregional plan of action reaffirms the ECOWAS Initial Plan of Action and extends efforts to combat trafficking into the Central African region. It emphasizes that member States should ensure the ratification and implementation of relevant international instruments, and sets out seven strategies in the following priority areas: legal framework and policy development; victim assistance and protection; prevention and awareness-raising; collection and analysis of information; training and specialized capacity-building; travel and identity documents; monitoring and evaluation of implementation.

- COMMIT in the Mekong region, through its secretariat, conducts case monitoring and analysis to identify lessons learned and address barriers to appropriate investigative, prosecutorial and judicial responses to trafficking. On that basis, it develops handbooks that include practical guidance and standard operating procedures, with a focus on the protection of victims as well as on cross-border cooperation. Another focus is the creation and strengthening of specialist Anti-Trafficking Units for investigation and prosecution, and the promotion of cross-border cooperation between these Units. For these purposes, targeted training for law enforcement officials is being conducted at the regional level and assistance provided for national level training in local languages.

- Civil society actors, particularly NGOs that have acquired specific expertise, have a role to play in the development, implementation and evaluation of anti-trafficking policies and programmes. In some cases, they are very well placed to provide services to victims or inputs into governmental policies. In this regard, the OHCHR Guidelines include various recommendations on the way NGOs and other civil society organizations should be involved in the efforts to fight trafficking, as key partners. Regional organizations have a role to play in promoting effective partnerships between Governments and civil society, and between themselves and civil society. Building such effective partnerships remains a challenge.

- Paragraph text
- One of the added values of regional mechanisms is the adoption of a common workplan at the regional level, setting out common strategies and actions to be taken within a region. This has proved to be a key step to providing a sound platform on which States may shape their national policies. As opposed to formal agreements or declarations establishing regional mechanisms, which are more general, regional action plans include specific measures and strategies to guide States in developing their national strategies. Moreover, a common action plan promotes a unified vision to fight human trafficking within a region: on that basis, national strategies will be developed with similar approaches. Practically all existing regional mechanisms have developed their regional action plans. The Arab initiative for building national capacities to combat human trafficking is due to be launched at the end of March 2010.

- Paragraph text
- Human trafficking has been identified as a problem in various economic sectors, including those integrated into global markets. Companies face the threat of human trafficking at diverse levels, irrespective of their size, sector, operational context, ownership and structure (although these factors may influence the level of the threat). It has been reported that the economic sectors most exposed to human trafficking include agriculture and horticulture, construction, garments and textile, hospitality and catering, mining, logging and forestry, food processing and packaging, transportation, domestic service and other care and cleaning work.

The right to an effective remedy for trafficked persons 2011, para. 29
- Paragraph text
- The draft basic principles are based on existing international human rights law and standards and do not represent new norms of human rights. They are designed to bring clarity to the concept of the right to an effective remedy and to elaborate specific factors to be taken into account when this right is applied to trafficked persons. For example, the draft basic principles explicitly spell out that States have obligations to ensure that adequate procedures are in place to enable quick and accurate identification and that trafficked persons are not subjected to discriminatory treatment in law or in practice, as these are preconditions in exercising the right to an effective remedy in the context of trafficked persons. Further, reflecting the complex nature of the crime of trafficking, the draft basic principles specify that restitution may require States to provide trafficked persons with temporary or permanent residence status where a safe return to the country of origin cannot be guaranteed or is otherwise not in the best interest of the trafficked person. With respect to recovery, the draft basic principles provide that States shall ensure that trafficked persons' access to assistance and other benefits are not dependent on their cooperation in legal proceedings, as this is a common obstacle for trafficked persons in accessing such assistance and other benefits. Lastly, the draft basic principles provide that States have a duty to ensure that trafficked persons are allowed to lawfully remain in the country in which the remedy is being sought for the duration of any proceedings, having regard to the fact that trafficked persons are often treated as irregular migrants subject to detention and deportation.

A human rights-based approach to the administration of criminal justice in cases of trafficking in persons 2012, para. 18
- Paragraph text
- In formulating the criminal offence of trafficking, States must not criminalize only those offences that have been committed intentionally; they must also ensure that the victim's consent does not alter the offender's criminal liability. States are further required to criminalize related offences, such as attempted trafficking offences or complicity in their commission, and ensure that criminal (and civil) liability can be extended to legal as well as natural persons. This obligation is important in ensuring the legal accountability of corporations and businesses engaging in trafficking, such as labour contractors, adoption agencies and entertainment venues.

The issue of human trafficking in supply chains 2012, para. 23
- Paragraph text
- Several companies have already made the required disclosures, which significantly vary in attitude and detail. Some have made disclosures detailing the initiatives that they have taken to address human trafficking in their supply chains, while others simply mimic the language of the Act to affirm that they are implementing the measures suggested therein without giving details as to how they have done so. Some companies even indicate that they have taken no steps to address human trafficking in their supply chains. As the Act does not require the actual implementation of the measures specified therein but rather disclosures as to the extent to which companies are implementing such measures, companies can still be in compliance with the Act by merely stating that they are not taking any action to address human trafficking and slavery. Accordingly, the effectiveness of the Act will hinge upon the extent to which advocates and investors strategically use the disclosures to affect the companies' brand image and consumer opinion. Nevertheless, the Act represents an innovative initiative by which States may contribute to regulating corporate behaviour in efforts to eradicate human trafficking in supply chains.

The issue of human trafficking in supply chains 2012, para. 16
- Paragraph text
- The obligations of States to prevent and combat trafficking in persons under international law translate into obligations at the national level to adopt and enforce appropriate legislative or other measures aimed at achieving that objective. Today, a significant majority of States have criminalized trafficking in persons by enacting comprehensive anti-trafficking legislation (see A/HRC/20/18, paras. 19-21). The effective enforcement of that legislation, however, remains a challenge in many States. Even those States with strong anti-trafficking measures are sometimes described as safe havens because they do not enforce their own laws (see ibid., para. 22). For example, the enactment of comprehensive anti-trafficking legislation notwithstanding, the investigation and prosecution of perpetrators may be hampered by such factors as misidentification of trafficked persons, corruption, lack of capacity and resources on the part of law enforcement agencies and slow court procedures.

A human rights-based approach to the administration of criminal justice in cases of trafficking in persons 2012, para. 42
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur notes that other States have linked the provision of assistance and protection to cooperation with national criminal justice agencies. For example, in Norway, in accordance with measure No. 5 of its Action Plan to Combat Human Trafficking, permanent residency permits are available for trafficking victims who face retribution or hardship in their country of origin as long as they give a statement to police outside of court and for those victims who testify in court. In some legal systems, the issue of conditional assistance is complicated by a legal requirement on victims to cooperate in an investigation or prosecution if that cooperation is deemed necessary. The Special Rapporteur notes that, in accordance with international law, support and protection should not be made conditional on the victim's capacity or willingness to cooperate in legal proceedings.

The issue of trafficking in persons for the removal of organs 2013, para. 42
- Paragraph text
- Prohibition of trafficking in persons for removal of organs. States parties to the Trafficking in Persons Protocol, of which there are currently 157, are required to criminalize trafficking of persons for a range of purposes, including for organ removal. Most countries have enacted such laws, but not all have included trafficking in persons for the removal of organs within their scope. It is relevant to note that, within national legislation, the offence of trafficking in persons often has a broad jurisdictional basis that enables prosecution for offences occurring outside the country involving a citizen as either a victim or a perpetrator, thereby opening up a potential avenue to prohibit and prosecute practices relating to transplant tourism. The offence may bring such practices within the operation of other national laws, such as those relating to transnational organized crime, corruption and money laundering. Conduct relating to trafficking in persons for the removal of organs may also be subject to prosecution through the application of criminal laws dealing with matters such as assault, fraud and falsification of identity or travel documentation.

A human rights-based approach to the administration of criminal justice in cases of trafficking in persons 2012, para. 81
- Paragraph text
- In some States, laws explicitly provide that restitution and compensation be made to victims of trafficking out of the proceeds of assets seizure. In Cambodia, for example, articles 46 and 47 of the Law on Suppression of Human Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation afford victims "preference over property confiscated by the State" for the payment of damages. Other schemes have been established to allow the direct transfer of funds to victims; for example, in Nigeria, the Victim of Trafficking Trust Fund manages the proceeds of confiscated assets for the welfare and rehabilitation of the victim. In 2008, in England and Wales (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland), in the matter of AT v Dulghieru, the High Court awarded compensation of £611,000 to four trafficking victims of the £786,000 that had been confiscated.

The issue of trafficking in persons for the removal of organs 2013, para. 21
- Paragraph text
- The restricted scope of the present report is a reflection of the mandate of the Special Rapporteur. It also reflects an appreciation of human exploitation for the purposes of organ transplantation, primarily from living sources, as a discrete problem that requires specific solutions. It is important, however, to acknowledge that this issue cannot be fully separated from broader questions around transplantation, including those relating to equitable allocation of organs and approaches to dealing with organ shortages. The exploitation of human beings for purposes of organ transplantation is also linked to other commodification practices, such as transnational commercial surrogacy, which hold special dangers for the rights and dignity of the world's poorest and most vulnerable, and to broader questions of justice and rights that arise in the context of medical tourism.

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. 52
- Paragraph text
- States have a duty to protect against human rights abuses (including trafficking in persons and exploitation of persons) by third parties, including business enterprises and criminal associations, through appropriate policies, regulation and adjudication. States should set out clearly the expectation that all business enterprises domiciled in their territory and/or jurisdiction will respect human rights throughout their operations, both at home and abroad, and take appropriate action to stop trafficking in persons or the exploitation of persons from occurring, regardless of the size, sector, operational context, ownership and structure of the business enterprise.

Stocktaking exercise on the work of the mandate on its tenth Anniversary 2014, para. 25
- Paragraph text
- The role of the communications procedure has been recognized by many as a tool enabling the mandate holder to enter into a dialogue with Governments on alleged human rights violations committed against trafficked persons. Since the mandate was established, a total of 99 communications have been sent (out of which 92 were sent jointly with other mandate holders) and a total of 54 responses received from States. An assessment of the replies of States demonstrates that in the majority of cases they are willing to examine the alleged violation and provide clarification and information on actions taken. Civil society and other organizations have also found that this mechanism can be used as an advocacy tool for raising issues at an international level and protecting the rights of victims of trafficking.

Stocktaking exercise on the work of the mandate on its tenth Anniversary 2014, para. 41
- Paragraph text
- Trafficking feeds into a global market that seeks out cheap, unregulated and exploitable labour and the goods and services that such labour can produce. The mandate holders have affirmed that international law requires States to discourage the demand that fosters exploitation related to trafficking. The Special Rapporteur has examined demand in detail in the context of prevention (A/65/288, paras. 29-38) and in a dedicated report (A/HRC/23/48). In the latter report, she recommended that States take steps to understand the nature of demand and develop human rights-based measures to discourage it, based on accurate information and experience. She also noted that measures to address demand should not in themselves negatively affect individual rights and freedoms.

- Paragraph text
- The mandate notes the unilateral compliance mechanism established by the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons of the United States Department of State, which undertakes an annual assessment of the trafficking situation in States worldwide and the quality of the national responses. The Special Rapporteur has established an excellent working relationship with officials at the Office and generally welcomes this initiative as an important contribution to promoting strong national responses and increased awareness about trafficking throughout the world. However, she cautions that the criteria used to assess national performance should be explicitly based on international standards. This is not just essential to the credibility of the mechanism, it is also an important way to strengthen the international legal framework and affirm its key standards.

Due diligence and trafficking in persons 2015, para. 18
- Paragraph text
- The requirement that due diligence be exercised in good faith - meaning the taking of "positive steps and measures by States" - also means that a lack of resources or capacity cannot completely shield States from their due diligence obligations. Indeed, often, it is not more resources but rather their reallocation - including towards preventative policies - that is needed for States to act diligently as assessed under the particular circumstances. For many States' anti-trafficking policies, the "form in which due diligence has thus far been pursued is not without alternatives;" due diligence requires pursuing these alternatives to maximize efforts to ensure the human rights of trafficked persons in all aspects of anti-trafficking responses. While in practice some of these efforts to ensure the human rights of trafficked persons may be implemented by non-State actors (e.g., through civil society-run assistance programmes), States cannot delegate their due diligence obligations.

Due diligence and trafficking in persons 2015, para. 40
- Paragraph text
- Human rights due diligence on trafficking is also relevant in the activities of non-State actors, such as business enterprises, trade unions and employer organizations. As with all other non-State actors, States have an obligation to exercise due diligence to prevent, investigate and punish trafficking through their laws and policies toward business entities. This includes, for example, general rules requiring that businesses respect human rights and mandating that they undertake some form of human rights due diligence, as well as specific conditions on how States will conduct commercial transactions with business enterprises, including in their public procurement activities (e.g., by including a zero tolerance policy towards trafficking in contractual clauses and more generally revising public procurement procedures to prevent abusive and fraudulent recruitment). Other good practices include that in Brazil, where the Government "maintains public records of individuals and corporations identified by labour inspectors to be using or to have used slave labour", who then subsequently "face financial sanctions, including fines and denial of national subsidies, tax exemptions and loans from State banks." Disclosure requirements in domestic legislation that mandate companies to make their anti-trafficking policy, if they have one, transparent, is a recent form of State practice that could be strengthened by mandating that companies have such anti-trafficking policies in place and report on their implementation. Recruitment agency licensing to regulate recruitment practices and to require that workers are not charged recruitment fees can be a particularly effective form of State practice to reduce the vulnerability of migrants to trafficking. For example, "some countries in the Americas, including Peru, have explicitly prohibited recruitment agencies from engaging in trafficking and from charging workers any recruitment fees". Additionally, Indonesia and Nepal, "alongside a licensing process, there is a system by which workers can report abuses committed by recruitment agencies to the government."

The report to the twenty-sixth session of the Council was well received: 44 Member States and 15 non-State actors intervened and shared their experiences regarding prevention and protections of actual and potential victims. Some recommendations were also exchanged on efforts to address this phenomenon.

Strengthening voluntary standards for businesses on preventing and combating trafficking in persons and labour exploitation, especially in supply chains 2017, para. 21
- Paragraph text
- Feedback generated from consultations held with multi-stakeholder initiatives and private sector representatives indicated that while this type of legislation represents a good starting point for most companies and facilitates the mainstreaming of transparency efforts in smaller companies, more transparency is needed. In addition, private sector stakeholders consulted agreed on the need for stronger normative frameworks at the State level that would establish, based on international standards, clear expectations for businesses regarding their obligations to respect workers’ rights and to protect workers from labour abuses. Stronger normative frameworks would not only help businesses to ensure that their suppliers are bound to the same level of commitment regarding the elimination of trafficking in persons and respect for workers’ rights, but would also help to guarantee an even playing field for those who conduct their operations in accordance with those standards.

Strengthening voluntary standards for businesses on preventing and combating trafficking in persons and labour exploitation, especially in supply chains 2017, para. 27
- Paragraph text
- In 2016, together with Verité, an international non-governmental organization, the Special Rapporteur, thanks to earmarked contributions received for this purpose, launched a new project building on the previous work carried out under the mandate on addressing the risks of trafficking in persons in global supply chains. The goal of the project is to reduce the vulnerability that workers face in supply chains and tackle the risks of trafficking in persons by strengthening multi-stakeholder and industry-based strategies, and to promote the catalysing effect of multi-stakeholder initiatives and industry coalitions to enhance efforts made by businesses to improve their policies and measures to address trafficking in persons and other types of labour violations.
