Regional and subregional cooperation in promoting a human rights-based approach to combatting trafficking in persons 2010, para. 73
- Paragraph text
- Similarly, the AU.COMMIT Campaign aims at curbing both the supply and demand for human trafficking, in partnership with several United Nations agencies. The Campaign included the production of television advertisements, the distribution of 1,000 copies of the Ouagadougou Action Plan, of 1,000 T-shirts with the slogan "AU.COMMIT: Stop Trafficking" and of 1,000 copies of pamphlets, pins, posters, etc. In line with the three main strategies of the Ouagadougou Plan of Action, the AU.COMMIT Campaign will be implemented in three phases, focusing in 2009-2010 on prevention of, and response to, trafficking, in 2010-2011 on protection of victims and in 2011-2012 on prosecution of traffickers.

A human rights-based approach to the administration of criminal justice in cases of trafficking in persons 2012, para. 83
- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur notes that there are other instances where, despite laws allowing for the seizure of assets, the proceeds of funds confiscated have reportedly failed to be distributed to victims. For example, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which has a comprehensive anti-trafficking law, in a landmark case in 2009, a trafficking ringleader was sentenced to 12 years in prison, fined $14,286, and over $204,600 in assets were seized. There is, however, no evidence that these funds went to the victims. Similarly, in the Czech Republic, following the successful prosecution of eight gang members for trafficking, the assets of the accused, estimated at more than $1.5 million, were seized. Again, no evidence was found that the funds had been distributed to the victims.

The issue of trafficking in persons for the removal of organs 2013, para. 18
- Paragraph text
- The transplantation of organs from a living or deceased person into another person is a relatively new area of medical practice but one that is rapidly accelerating as a result of advances in surgery, immunology and pharmacology. Deceased persons remain the source of many organ transplants and indeed are the only possible source for certain transplants, such as those involving hearts and lungs. It is, however, increasingly possible, and in some cases preferable, to use the organs of living persons for some transplant procedures. Kidneys, for example, can be transferred from a living person, often with better results for the recipient and, in theory at least, with little harm to the donor.

- At the national level, the thematic reports of the Special Rapporteur have been used by some States (including some that have not so far been visited by the Special Rapporteur) and civil society organizations to elaborate or strengthen institutions and policies; as reference documents for further research; and to raise awareness of the topic covered. Some stakeholders have noted that the thematic issues covered in the annual reports of the Special Rapporteur have been reinforced by a number of resolutions on combating trafficking adopted by the Human Rights Council and the General Assembly, which have contributed to wider sensitization and implementation. Moreover, the Special Rapporteur also welcomes with appreciation the decision of the General Assembly in resolution 68/192 to designate 30 July as the World Day against Trafficking in Persons, in the context of the need for raising awareness of the situation of victims of human trafficking and for the promotion and protection of their rights. She also recognizes the two new international legal instruments on forced labour that the International Labour Organization adopted in June 2014: the Protocol of 2014 to Convention No. 29 (1930) concerning Forced or Compulsory Labour and Recommendation No. 203 (2014) on supplementary measures for the effective suppression of forced labour. Many of their key provisions, including those addressing remedies, the protection of victims from punishment for crimes they were compelled to commit and protection from abusive recruitment practices, echo the themes and substantive areas of focus of the work of the Special Rapporteur.

Due diligence and trafficking in persons 2015, para. 27
- Paragraph text
- Victim identification under the rubric of prevention - as well as in the context of investigation, prosecution, protection and assistance - also requires greater training and understanding of the "continuum of exploitation" that exists between decent work and forced labour, such that workers experience different forms of exploitation that require different types of interventions when workers find themselves in any situation other than decent work. In addition, training should address the relationship between different forms of transborder movement. For example, trafficking and smuggling are often treated distinctly when in practice they are often very linked, such that what was once an act of smuggling can be turned into an act of trafficking if the circumstances become more exploitative and involuntary.

- Diverse means of raising grievances and having them addressed were also debated, including examples of worker hotlines and innovations in the use of smartphone technology. However, it was noted that such efforts alone, not unlike social audits, cannot solve the complex problem of human trafficking, and must be reinforced through other means of awareness-raising, capacity-building, problem identification and access to remedy. Questions were raised about the role played by local authorities in the referral and follow-up of grievances, and about how best to coordinate with such authorities, when necessary. Good practices related to the rehabilitation of trafficking victims and their reintegration into communities and labour markets was also mentioned as a topic in need of urgent attention from all relevant stakeholders.

- The basic principles on the right to an effective remedy for trafficked persons are firmly based on established rules of international law. While States are not usually the direct source of trafficking-related harm, they may not absolve themselves of legal responsibility on this basis (see A/66/283, para. 12). Rather, the obligation to provide remedies, or at least access to remedies, to victims of trafficking is set out in a number of relevant instruments and has been widely recognized by United Nations bodies and regional courts.

- OSCE has addressed trafficking in persons as a major concern since 2000, when the first Ministerial Council Decision on enhancing the OSCE's Efforts to Combat Trafficking in Human Beings was taken. In 2003, the OSCE Action Plan to Combat Trafficking in Human Beings was adopted, and in 2006 the Special Representative and Coordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings was appointed. In 2007, a Platform for Action against Human Trafficking was adopted, which focuses on six priority areas: encouraging action at national level and establishing national anti-trafficking structures; promoting evidence-based policies and programmes; stepping up efforts to prevent trafficking in human beings; prioritizing action against child trafficking; addressing all forms of trafficking in human beings; promoting effective assistance and access to justice for all victims.

The issue of human trafficking in supply chains 2012, para. 36
- Paragraph text
- That those codes are of a voluntary and self-regulating nature also often leads to criticism that they are toothless and effectively unenforceable. While some companies have adopted robust strategies involving a verification and certification system by an independent social auditor, the effective and independent monitoring of the implementation of codes of conduct is not institutionalized in most companies. For example, it has been reported that the Protocol for the Growing and Processing of Cocoa Beans and Their Derivative Products in a Manner that Complies with ILO Convention 182 concerning the Prohibition and Immediate Action for the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour (Harkin-Engel Protocol), which was signed by chocolate and cocoa industry representatives, has not been implemented effectively, partly owing to the fact that implementation is not supported by independent product certification. Auditors monitoring companies' supply chains may also not be adequately trained in the issue of human trafficking and may report only specific labour law violations such as delayed payment of wages or long working hours, without making the necessary connection with possible situations of trafficking.

The issue of trafficking in persons for the removal of organs 2013, para. 19
- Paragraph text
- Worldwide, there is an acute shortage of organs for transplantation, which effectively means that many people who would have benefited from such treatment will die. The mismatch between the growing demand for organ transplants and the strict limits on available supply is the root cause of many of the legal, ethical and human rights issues that arise around organ transplantation. For example, there is great debate around consent for deceased organ "donation" and even around the definition of death. In relation to both deceased and live transplantation, a key issue is the question of commercialization. The dominant view is that organs for transplantation should be a gift, generated by an act of altruism that is not distorted by incentives or payments. A money-driven market in organs is seen to benefit the rich at the expense of the poor, opening the door to greater exploitation of both the seller and the buyer. Others argue, however, that this system will never begin to satisfy the demand for transplants, that it produces wasteful inefficiencies and that it contributes to the growth of exploitative and uncontrolled shadow markets.

Trafficking in persons in conflict and post-conflict situations 2016, para. 35
- Paragraph text
- Survivors of trafficking, sexual slavery and other forms of sexual violence perpetrated during periods of armed conflict rarely receive the assistance they need to reintegrate into society. Too often, survivors face discrimination and stigma in their families and in the wider community, which may make them vulnerable to being retrafficked, further stalling their rehabilitation and reintegration. Stigmatization as well as deficient judicial and legal systems typically impede access to justice for survivors. Access to justice is further impeded by discriminatory laws and regulations. Additionally, sexual and reproductive health services, trauma counselling and reintegration support, such as education and livelihood assistance, are severely limited in conflict and post-conflict areas, leaving the physical and psychological health needs of victims unmet.

Trafficked persons should not be used as instruments for criminal investigations. In all cases, it is imperative that States integrate gender and aged-based perspectives into investigations and prosecution.

In this context, journalists and NGOs that investigate supply and product chains have played an important role and organizations representing exploited workers or providing assistance to them are well-placed to provide accurate information.

Prevention of trafficking in persons 2010, para. 36
- Paragraph text
- As has been observed, while proponents on both sides of the debate hold tenaciously to their convictions, there remains no conclusive link between the legalization or criminalization of prostitution and the existence of trafficking for sexual exploitation. Although the Special Rapporteur does not wish to draw conclusions in this debate, she wants to shift the attention away from exclusively tackling consumer demand and to underline the critical need to ensure that undivided attention is paid to prevention strategies that focus on tackling the structural root causes of trafficking while respecting the human rights of trafficked persons. In this context, the Special Rapporteur notes the evidence that the majority of clients of commercial sexual services are not concerned whether the services are provided by persons who are prostitutes by choice or trafficked persons. The evidence also suggests that trafficking results mainly from the demands of employers or third parties (such as recruiters, agents, transporters and others knowingly participating in trafficking) who control and exploit people, coupled with the lack of labour rights protection that allows exploitation to take place.

The right to an effective remedy for trafficked persons 2011, para. 25

- Article 6, paragraph 3, of the Palermo Protocol requires States to "consider implementing measures to provide for the physical, psychological and social recovery" of trafficked persons and sets out some such measures, including: "(a) Appropriate housing; (b) Counselling and information, in particular as regards their legal rights, in a language that the victims of trafficking in persons can understand; (c) Medical, psychological and material assistance; and (d) Employment, educational and training opportunities". While according to the legislative guide for the implementation of the Palermo Protocol ("the Legislative Guide"), this provision was not rendered mandatory due to the varying level of socio-economic development or availability of resources in different States, it should be read in conjunction with the purposes of the Palermo Protocol, which include "to protect and assist the victims of such trafficking, with full respect for their human rights" (art. 2) to imply obligations of States parties to implement these measures to the maximum of their available resources.

- While some States provide for free legal assistance to victims of crime, including trafficked persons, many States reportedly do not have a system in place to provide for such assistance. Even where the law expressly provides that trafficked persons should be provided with legal assistance, the system may not exist or be effectively implemented in practice, so that legal assistance may only be available from non-governmental or international organizations in reality. Further, some States impose eligibility criteria for legal aid, which may be difficult for trafficked persons to fulfil, such as being nationals of the country or long-term residents with legal status and a domicile.

- Even in the absence of formalized cooperation agreements, increased cooperation can yield important results. For example, although no formal cooperation mechanisms exist between non-governmental organizations and criminal justice agencies in Belarus, in recent years there has been an increase in practical cooperation between them in providing assistance to trafficking victims. As a result, non-governmental anti-trafficking organizations have reported that communication with officials has improved and, in some instances, the relevant agencies have permitted specialists from the organizations to attend police interviews and closed court hearings upon victims' requests. More recently it was reported that non-governmental organizations had assisted in the training of Government officials in victim identification.

A human rights-based approach to the administration of criminal justice in cases of trafficking in persons 2012, para. 46
- Paragraph text
- Working at the forefront and on the ground, victim support agencies will often be the first to come into contact with trafficked persons; they thus serve a fundamental function by referring victims to the appropriate authorities for assistance, helping to file complaints and reporting illegal activity to law enforcement. Moreover, in States where resources may be limited for anti-trafficking programmes, such agencies can provide valuable support by operating shelters, giving free legal assistance or offering medical or psychological care. Even where resources are abundant, the provision of assistance by victim support agencies remains invaluable, because victims may be more likely to trust a non-governmental organization than criminal justice agencies.

- Paragraph text
- Prohibition of commercialism (buying, selling and financial gain). The international and regional standards mentioned above, which unanimously advocate prohibition of the buying and selling of human organs, have been incorporated by most countries into national law. The Islamic Republic of Iran runs a system of regulated, paid living and deceased organ donation that provides the notable exception. In countries that prohibit the sale of organs, donors may nevertheless receive limited compensation, which is not considered payment. Some countries, such as the United States, reimburse some expenses and give grants for programmes to increase donations and effective transplant process. Other countries, including Israel and Singapore, have gone much further in incentivizing donation, for example by according priority for transplantation to persons on the national donor registry.

- There is also a risk that the development of a parallel legal regime for trafficking in organs will undermine the effectiveness of the extremely comprehensive legal regime that has been developed around trafficking in persons. Certainly, research conducted for the present report confirmed that the very robust and comprehensive set of rules and standards that apply to trafficking in persons for the removal of organs are not fully appreciated and are not being fully utilized. For example, as victims of trafficking in persons, those who have been subject to trafficking in persons for the removal of organs are entitled to a wide range of identification, assistance and protection rights that would not otherwise be available to them. The identification of transplantation-related exploitation as trafficking in persons for the removal of organs also imposes substantial and wide-ranging obligations on States with regard to criminalization and international legal and operational cooperation.

The issue of trafficking in persons for the removal of organs 2013, para. 32
- Paragraph text
- One key feature of the response to trafficking in persons for the removal of organs is its separation from the broader international movement against trafficking in persons. Initial leadership in debate and action around trafficking in persons for the removal of organs was largely provided by the medical and transplant communities, which have been central to identifying the existence of a problem and developing standards and protocols for practitioners. For example, since 1985, the General Assembly of the World Medical Association has issued a series of resolutions and guidelines in which it has condemned the human organ trade and urged Governments to take action to prevent commercial markets. It has also addressed the use of organs from executed prisoners. At the sixty-third General Assembly of the World Medical Association, held in Bangkok in October 2012, a statement on organ and tissue donation was adopted, in which the Assembly affirmed its rejection of the practice in all cases because of the impossibility of instituting adequate safeguards against coercion.

The first decade of the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially women and children 2014, para. 67
- Paragraph text
- The parameters of the international legal definition need to be clarified, as it would be a mistake to assume that the adoption of the definition has ended discussion around the parameters of trafficking. In fact, there is a continuing vigorous debate within and among States and other actors over what conduct is or is not defined as "trafficking". For example, to what extent does the act of "harbouring" enable the definition to encompass the maintenance of an individual in a situation of exploitation and not just movement into that situation? Would a single, minor deception at the recruitment stage be sufficient to turn an exploitative situation into one of trafficking? Is the consent of the victim ever relevant in establishing whether trafficking has occurred? How broadly should the phrase "abuse of a position of vulnerability" be read? For example, should it include vulnerability related to economic necessity or to immigration status? How broadly should "exploitation" (including "sexual exploitation") be understood? What criteria, if any, should be used to determine whether other exploitative practices are to be included within the open-ended list set out in the international definition? What are the relationships between trafficking and related practices also prohibited under international law, including slavery, servitude and forced labour? When would an instance of forced labour or slavery not be trafficking? How should exploitation through debt bondage be understood in the context of modern recruitment and employment practices? And critically, at what point does a bad employment situation metamorphose into trafficking?
