The right to an effective remedy for trafficked persons 2011, para. 25
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur engaged in further dialogues with a number of stakeholders following the presentation of the Human Rights Council report and found that the obstacles discussed above in successfully obtaining remedies are still common in many parts of the world. As far as compensation is concerned, research conducted by the European Action for Compensation for Trafficked Persons project ("COM.PACT project") demonstrated that although there is an emerging awareness about the right to compensation for trafficked persons and the legal frameworks in these European countries allow trafficked persons to claim compensation, the actual receipt of a compensation payment by a trafficked person is extremely rare. While there is a variety of factors that negatively affect trafficked persons' ability to claim compensation, the most common reasons include the lack of knowledge on the part of trafficked persons about their right to compensation, restrictive eligibility criteria for State-funded compensation funds, the failure of law enforcement authorities to confiscate assets or to use confiscated assets to compensate trafficked persons and the lack of jurisprudence on compensation for trafficked persons. Further, discussions at the international round table on "Compensation for trafficked persons in Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine", organized by La Strada Belarus on 10 June 2011, revealed that such obstacles as the lack of information about the right to compensation, the lack of knowledge on the part of judges and lawyers about the victims' right to compensation and the absence of legal aid, significantly reduce trafficked persons' chances of successfully claiming compensation.
