The first decade of the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially women and children 2014, para. 17
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- The initial mandate of the Special Rapporteur was for three years. In 2008, in resolution 8/12, the Human Rights Council extended the mandate for a further three years, in order to, inter alia, "promote the prevention of trafficking in persons in all its forms and the adoption of measures to uphold and protect the human rights of victims". The appointment of the current mandate holder was based on this resolution. The resolution specifically requested the Special Rapporteur to, inter alia, promote the effective application of relevant international norms and standards and contribute to the further improvement of them; integrate a gender and age perspective throughout the work of the mandate; identify and share best practices, propose adequate responses to challenges and obstacles, in order to uphold and protect the human rights of victims, and identify gaps in protection in this regard; emphasize practical solutions, including through international cooperation; and respond to reliable information on alleged human rights violations with a view to protecting the human rights of actual or potential victims of trafficking. Specific reference was made in the resolution to the relevant international instruments: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Right, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the Convention on the Rights of the Child and its Protocol on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography and the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime.
