The first decade of the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially women and children 2014, para. 16
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- In its decision 2004/110, the Commission on Human Rights appointed a Special Rapporteur "whose mandate will focus on the human rights aspects of the victims of trafficking in persons, especially women and children". In the same decision, the Commission invited the Special Rapporteur to submit annual reports, including recommendations on measures required to uphold and protect the human rights of victims. The Special Rapporteur was further requested to respond effectively to reliable information on possible human rights violations, with a view to protecting the human rights of actual or potential victims of trafficking and to cooperate with relevant United Nations bodies, regional organizations and victims and their representatives. The establishment of the position of Special Rapporteur, with an explicit mandate to address the human rights aspects of trafficking, proved to be a critical circuit-breaker, affirming on behalf of the international community two key principles: first, that the human rights of trafficked persons should be at the centre of all efforts to combat trafficking; and second, that anti-trafficking measures should not adversely affect the human rights and dignity of all persons concerned.
