- Paragraph text
- [In terms of access to justice, prosecution and sanctions, States, in cooperation with United Nations agencies and programmes, international organizations, host countries and civil society organizations, should:] Ensure that legislation, policies, measures and practices guarantee child-sensitive due processes in all migration-related administrative and judicial proceedings affecting the rights of children or of their parents. All children, including those accompanied by parents or other legal guardians, must be treated as individual rights-holders, not criminals, their child-specific needs must be considered equally and individually and their views must be duly heard.

- Paragraph text
- Companies should establish a remediation plan in cooperation with the supplier and local and national authorities when a case of trafficking in persons is detected, in order to ensure that workers have effective access to remedies, including compensation, and to appropriate assistance. Any measure adopted should have a human rights-centred approach and be based on the rights of the trafficked person, whose participation in the determination of a solution for their case should be ensured throughout the process.
