The issue of human trafficking in supply chains 2012, para. 19
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- Immigration laws could also contribute to preventing migrant workers from being trafficked into supply chains. Increasing opportunities for legal, gainful and non-exploitative labour migration is a measure that States may take to prevent trafficking in persons (E/2002/68/Add.1, guideline 7, para. 7). In fact, a lower incidence of trafficking is reported where opportunities for regular migration are available within a multilateral framework or under a bilateral agreement between the sending and receiving States, or where there are otherwise established channels of migration (see A/65/288, para. 42). For example, the Protocol Relating to Free Movement of Persons, Residence and Establishment concluded under the auspices of the Economic Community of West African States, mandates the abolition of visa and entry permits for Community citizens, giving them greater freedom of movement between member States. While the implementation of the Protocol has reportedly been limited and it is difficult to assess its impact in preventing trafficking in persons, it nevertheless stands as an example of a framework that could encourage the regularization of population movements and hence decrease the risk of trafficking.
