Regional and subregional cooperation in promoting a human rights-based approach to combatting trafficking in persons 2010, para. 25
- Paragraph text
- SAARC, established in 1985 by Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, adopted a Regional Convention on Combating the Crime of Trafficking in Women and Children for Prostitution in January 2002. The Convention calls for cooperation amongst member States in dealing with various aspects of prevention, prohibition and suppression of trafficking in women and children for prostitution, and repatriation and rehabilitation of victims.

Prevention of trafficking in persons 2010, para. 26
- Paragraph text
- Thus, a brief analysis of some of the root causes of trafficking shows that there is a wide range of intertwined factors at play. One single factor such as poverty, gender discrimination or lack of employment opportunities per se does not necessarily lead to trafficking; rather, it is the combination of multiple factors that may place certain individuals at a higher risk of being trafficked. Thus, measures aimed at addressing the root causes of trafficking should be based on the recognition that trafficking is caused by a lack of comprehensive protection of such human rights, as freedom from discrimination, the right to work, the right to an adequate standard of living and freedom of movement. As an example, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) advocates for a comprehensive child protection system rather than measures that focus narrowly on trafficking. In its "system-building" approach, UNICEF promotes shifts towards building and strengthening social welfare, changing social behaviour and improving the legal and justice system for child protection in a holistic manner, based on the principles enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child. This approach can be offered to other groups at high risk of being trafficked, such as women or ethnic minorities, so that prevention measures are designed to protect the human rights of potential victims of trafficking in a comprehensive manner rather than focusing on alleviating one factor. Consistent with this approach, the Special Rapporteur welcomes the recent adoption by the General Assembly of the United Nations Global Plan of Action against Trafficking in Persons (resolution 64/293) in which Member States affirmed their commitment to adopt and implement comprehensive policies and programmes at the national level to prevent trafficking in persons in line with relevant policies and programmes on migration, education, employment, gender equality, empowerment of women and crime prevention.

Regional and subregional cooperation in promoting a human rights-based approach to combatting trafficking in persons 2010, para. 17
- Paragraph text
- African States have started taking coordinated action both at the regional and subregional levels. At the level of the AU, the Ouagadougou Action Plan to Combat Trafficking in Human Beings, Especially Women and Children, was adopted by Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Migration and Development from Africa and the EU in November 2006, at the Africa-EU Ministerial Conference on Migration and Development, held in Tripoli in the framework of the Africa-EU Strategic Partnership. The Action Plan provides specific recommendations to be implemented by Regional Economic Communities (RECs) and member States based on a three-pronged strategy: prevention of trafficking, protection of victims of trafficking and prosecution of those involved in the crime of trafficking.

The issue of human trafficking in supply chains 2012, para. 47
- Paragraph text
- In some cases, companies themselves have taken a leadership role in developing and implementing multi-stakeholder initiatives. For instance, when the global clothing company, Gap Inc., discovered that its subcontractor in India was employing children under slave-like conditions, it not only swiftly remedied the situation but also contributed to the establishment of a multi-stakeholder think tank in India in July 2008 to promote public-private partnerships in efforts to combat trafficking. The company has teamed up with its local suppliers, a Government-supported non-governmental organization and a national buying house, to help more than 600 women learn hand embroidery skills to obtain work in the export market.

The issue of human trafficking in supply chains 2012, para. 27
- Paragraph text
- In addition to these non-binding international frameworks, numerous initiatives led by civil society organizations urge greater compliance with international human rights standards by businesses. Such initiatives may include voluntary codes of conduct or ethical principles for businesses. There are also many examples of industry-wide or individual codes of conduct or principles voluntarily developed and adopted by businesses themselves to pledge their commitment to human rights as part of their corporate social responsibility policies and programmes. While most existing codes of conduct or initiatives do not specifically include human trafficking as a priority issue to be scrutinized, they typically seek to eliminate the worst forms of child labour and ensure respect for labour rights. Thus, if properly implemented and monitored, they could significantly contribute to preventing trafficking in persons in supply chains in the first place.

A human rights-based approach to the administration of criminal justice in cases of trafficking in persons 2012, para. 43
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur is concerned, however, by practices where victims of trafficking are mandatorily detained in shelters. Although the Special Rapporteur recognizes that the motivation for this may be to protect victims, she notes that the routine detention of victims of trafficking violates, in some circumstances, the right to freedom of movement and, in most, if not all, circumstances, the prohibitions on unlawful deprivation of liberty and arbitrary detention. International law absolutely prohibits any discriminatory detention of victims, including detention that is linked to the sex of the victim. The routine detention of women and of children in shelter facilities, for example, is clearly discriminatory and therefore unlawful.

The issue of trafficking in persons for the removal of organs 2013, para. 35
- Paragraph text
- Trafficking in persons for the removal of organs and the related practices discussed herein have not been a central concern for the international human rights system. Only the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography explicitly addresses the issue by, under article 3 (1)(a)(i)(b), prohibiting the transfer of the organs of a child for profit. The Committee on the Rights of the Child has addressed the sale of organs in its consideration of national reports and the Special Rapporteur on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography has also raised concerns. The use of organs from executed prisoners in transplantation programmes in East Asia has attracted more focused attention from some parts of the human rights system, including the Committee against Torture.

- Paragraph text
- Extradition is another important legal mechanism for ensuring the effective prosecution of suspects, precluding the ability of traffickers to flee to a "safe haven" State. The United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime requires States parties to treat offences established in accordance with the Protocol as extraditable offences under domestic law, and to ensure that such offences are included as extraditable offences in current and future extradition treaties. A number of regional instruments, such as the Inter-American Convention on International Traffic in Minors, in its article 10, specifically identify trafficking as an extraditable offence. A number of States have explicitly provided that trafficking is an extraditable offence.

- The Special Rapporteur notes that linking asset seizure to victim support is in line with a rights-based approach to human trafficking. Recovered assets can be a key source of funds when providing victims with compensation. The Special Rapporteur reminds States that trafficking victims have a right to compensation for the harm committed against them. Indeed, article 6, paragraph 6 of the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children provides that States parties legal systems must take measures that offer the possibility of compensation to victims.

Stocktaking exercise on the work of the mandate on its tenth Anniversary 2014, para. 48
- Paragraph text
- The work of the mandate holders has confirmed that the problem of human trafficking continues to be endemic in all parts of the world. While awareness of trafficking and of relevant rights and obligations has improved significantly, it has not resulted in substantial improvements on the ground. Large numbers of women, men and children continue to be exploited; very few receive support, protection or redress; few of the perpetrators are apprehended; and in every country the number of prosecutions remains stubbornly low. It is thus pertinent to draw out the challenges that are likely to be of particular concern to the international community and to the holders of the mandate as it evolves in the future.

Agenda setting of the work of the Special Rapporteur 2015, para. 11
- Paragraph text
- Trafficking in persons, especially women and children, is a multifaceted issue that is often interlinked with so-called mixed migration flows, encompassing various categories of persons on the move, including refugees, asylum seekers, economic migrants and other migrants travelling, mostly in an irregular manner, along similar routes, using similar means of travel, but for different reasons. Trafficking victims do not necessarily immediately enter the mixed migration flow process as trafficked persons, but might become trafficked during their journey or when they reach a transit or destination country. Their migration might often have started out through smuggling, but then have turned into trafficking at a later stage. Initial consent to a migration project, be it regular or irregular, does not imply that a case has necessarily to be qualified as smuggling. Rather, when migrants are placed in abusive and exploitative situations during their journey or at their destination, and when their rights are drastically limited or completely denied, the case in question has to be qualified as trafficking in persons.

In this regard, several examples of successful joint cooperation between States to train law enforcement officials and to conduct joint anti-trafficking operations were mentioned, including the recent joint exercises between European and African law enforcement officials organized by the Centre of Excellence for Stability Police Units and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, which were focused on reducing human trafficking along migrant routes.

Trafficking in persons in conflict and post-conflict situations 2016, para. 31
- Paragraph text
- It is estimated that 10 to 30 per cent of children in fighting forces are female. Girls who are forcibly recruited or abducted into military service typically face forced domestic labour and sexual violence and exploitation such as forced marriage and/or sexual slavery (see paras. 32-35 below). It is important to acknowledge that while violence and exploitation are often defining aspects of the female experience of conflict, this is not always the case. Young women and girls have also been involved in trafficking by deceiving other girls and boys into joining armed conflict, using the Internet and social media.

- [Rights of victims of trafficking in armed conflict. Victims of trafficking are entitled to the same rights, due diligence protection and prevention against trafficking in persons by States whether in times of conflict or otherwise. These rights include:] Right to assistance and support. The State in which a trafficked person is located is required to provide that person with adequate physical and psychological care to meet at least immediate needs. While the substantive content of this obligation is not yet settled, there is general agreement that the right to assistance and support includes provision of appropriate shelter; counselling and information; medical, psychological and material assistance; and employment, educational and training opportunities. Special attention should also be given to the needs of particular groups, including victims who are disabled or otherwise especially vulnerable. In the case of child victims, international law requires that the overarching rule of "the best interests of the child" guide decision-making about support;

The first decade of the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially women and children 2014, para. 35

- As noted above, international understanding of the nature and scope of trafficking has expanded significantly in the past several decades. It is now widely accepted that women, men and children are trafficked and that the forms of trafficking are as varied as the potential for profit or other personal gain. This development is highly significant from the perspective of international law because it brings within the relevant legal framework a wide range of exploitative conduct, much of which has been poorly or selectively regulated at both national and international levels.

Furthermore, they are trafficked for forced and exploitative labour in farms and factories and on fishing boats, for forced criminal activities, for forced and organized begging, and for domestic servitude in private households. While much trafficking of children involves movement across international borders, many countries experience the phenomenon of internal child trafficking.

- Similarly, the SAARC Convention calls upon its States parties to promote awareness, inter alia, through the use of the media, of the problem of trafficking in women and children and its underlying causes, including the projection of negative images of women. Also active on gender mainstreaming in relation to trafficking, COMMIT in the Mekong region has taken the stance of involving both women and men in decision-making concerning counter-trafficking policies. On that basis, UNIAP works to ensure that every level of its work, from high-level forums with senior officials to community-based initiatives, includes both women and men, and that women are represented in positions of leadership and responsibility. The OAS secretariat promotes the inclusion of a gender perspective in all aspects of its work, and encourages OAS member States to send an equal number of male and female participants to all training provided or supported by OAS.

The right to an effective remedy for trafficked persons 2011, para. 21
- Paragraph text
- Measures of restitution warrant a cautious approach in the context of trafficking in persons, as simply returning the trafficked person to the pre-existing situation may place him or her at the risk of further human rights violations and being re-trafficked. From this perspective, restitution implies States' obligations to undertake broader measures to address root causes of trafficking and to provide necessary reintegration support to trafficked persons, so as to address any risk of re-trafficking. The repatriation in 2005 of about 1,000 Pakistani children who were trafficked to the United Arab Emirates as camel jockeys, provides an illustration. In this case, the factors which caused the children to be trafficked in the first place, such as poverty, the lack of economic opportunities and the absence of a comprehensive child protection system, still persisted at the time of repatriation. Therefore, repatriation and reintegration of the children inevitably entailed tackling the root causes of trafficking and strengthening the child protection system, including providing basic education and health services in a sustainable manner.
