A human rights-based approach to the administration of criminal justice in cases of trafficking in persons 2012, para. 28
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur observes that, while numerous States do not have a specific law designed to minimize the criminalization of trafficking victims, many note that, as a matter of policy, trafficking victims are not prosecuted for status-related crimes. The Special Rapporteur observes, however, that some States have passed specific legislation in this regard. For example, a Moldovan law provides that trafficked persons who have committed unlawful acts as a direct result of being trafficked will not be prosecuted for such offences. In the United States, New York State recently passed a law to allow trafficking victims with prostitution-related convictions to vacate their judgements.

- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur is aware of the fact that each victim of trafficking has a unique story and experience, which makes it difficult to create categorical rules about identification of victims. Yet while there is no one clear formula for best identifying victims, a number of examples and already existing practices may provide guidance on the issue.

- Paragraph text
- Working at the forefront and on the ground, victim support agencies will often be the first to come into contact with trafficked persons; they thus serve a fundamental function by referring victims to the appropriate authorities for assistance, helping to file complaints and reporting illegal activity to law enforcement. Moreover, in States where resources may be limited for anti-trafficking programmes, such agencies can provide valuable support by operating shelters, giving free legal assistance or offering medical or psychological care. Even where resources are abundant, the provision of assistance by victim support agencies remains invaluable, because victims may be more likely to trust a non-governmental organization than criminal justice agencies.

- Paragraph text
- Even in the absence of formalized cooperation agreements, increased cooperation can yield important results. For example, although no formal cooperation mechanisms exist between non-governmental organizations and criminal justice agencies in Belarus, in recent years there has been an increase in practical cooperation between them in providing assistance to trafficking victims. As a result, non-governmental anti-trafficking organizations have reported that communication with officials has improved and, in some instances, the relevant agencies have permitted specialists from the organizations to attend police interviews and closed court hearings upon victims' requests. More recently it was reported that non-governmental organizations had assisted in the training of Government officials in victim identification.

- Paragraph text
- Insufficient data and accompanying analysis on patterns of criminal activity continue to hinder efforts to investigate and prosecute trafficking cases. To address this problem, Peru has developed a database system for its national police force to record and manage trafficking cases, which can be used to generate statistical reports and qualitative intelligence information to enhance investigative capacity. In Colombia, an operational anti-trafficking in persons centre coordinates and tracks investigations, prosecutions and victim assistance programmes.

- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur notes that international cooperation and collaboration in the investigation process is also important; for example, Malta grants investigators the legal authority to take all measures they would be entitled to take in a domestic case if so requested by a foreign judicial authority. The Special Rapporteur also recalls the positive example noted at the expert meeting, where the collaboration of law enforcement authorities from Nigeria and other European destination countries regarding the trafficking of persons from Nigeria into the Netherlands and Europe led to the arrest of traffickers in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom, as well as in the United States and Nigeria. The Netherlands built on the experience by providing the Nigerian agency for the prohibition of traffic in persons (see paragraph 61 above) with training and technical assistance for detectives, prosecutors and border police. Another example of cross-border collaboration can be seen in Rwanda, whose national police Aanti-trafficking unit has collaborated with police in Burundi to rescue victims. In addition, Rwanda has set up the Isange Centre to rehabilitate victims and has made efforts to train law enforcement officials, including by sending them abroad.

- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur notes that there are other instances where, despite laws allowing for the seizure of assets, the proceeds of funds confiscated have reportedly failed to be distributed to victims. For example, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which has a comprehensive anti-trafficking law, in a landmark case in 2009, a trafficking ringleader was sentenced to 12 years in prison, fined $14,286, and over $204,600 in assets were seized. There is, however, no evidence that these funds went to the victims. Similarly, in the Czech Republic, following the successful prosecution of eight gang members for trafficking, the assets of the accused, estimated at more than $1.5 million, were seized. Again, no evidence was found that the funds had been distributed to the victims.

- Paragraph text
- Other laws allow for the confiscation of assets from convicted trafficking offenders but do not directly support victims. For example, in Armenia, although article 266 of the Criminal Code provides for the confiscation of assets from convicted trafficking offenders, it does not specify where those funds would go. Thus, in 2010, although the Government provided partial funding of $17,000 for a shelter for 21 trafficking victims, it was not clear whether the funding was derived from the proceeds of asset confiscation.

- The Special Rapporteur urges States to extend protection and assistance to victim-witnesses in cases of trafficking in person pretrial, during trials and post-trial. Experience has shown that victim-witnesses are most vulnerable post-trial, when they usually no longer benefit from witness protection programmes.

- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur urges States to engage in proactive investigation, employing new technologies and methods that focus on gathering evidence to prove culpability for trafficking crimes without heavy or sole reliance on the testimony of victims. Trafficked persons should not be used as instruments for criminal investigations. In all cases, it is imperative that States integrate gender and aged-based perspectives into investigations and prosecution.

- The Special Rapporteur notes that political pressure to prosecute traffickers may lead to over-enforcement, shortcuts and unacceptable trade-offs. It is important that efforts by States to end impunity for traffickers should include appropriate safeguards in the criminal justice responses that protect victims, witnesses and suspects, and integrate gender and aged-based perspectives into investigations and prosecution.

- Paragraph text
- Moreover, international law mandates States to exercise due diligence to prevent trafficking, to investigate and prosecute traffickers, to assist and protect victims of trafficking and to provide access to remedy. As trafficking in persons is most often perpetrated by non-State actors, compliance with the due diligence principle is critical to ensure State accountability for the protection of the rights of victims and potential victims. However, the standard of due diligence as it relates to trafficking in persons has not been comprehensively articulated, either by the mandate of the Special Rapporteur or elsewhere. Therefore, the Special Rapporteur is of the view that additional guidance would be necessary to better equip States for the actions required to comply with their due diligence obligations.

- In the course of her work the Special Rapporteur intends to strengthen the mandate's engagement with relevant treaty bodies in order to create synergy to ensure States' accountability with regard to the issue of trafficking in persons. She will benefit from their expertise and their concluding observations, general comments/recommendations and case law on issues relating to trafficking, to which she also expects to contribute when relevant. She also believes that the universal periodic review contributes to strengthening efforts aimed at combating trafficking in persons as part of a holistic review of a country's human rights situation.
