UN RIGHTS EXPERT JOINS CALL FOR CONCERTED GLOBAL ACTION TO FIGHT HUMAN
TRAFFICKING
New York, Oct 18 2013 10:00AM
A United Nations independent expert, along with two other key human
rights mechanisms today stressed the importance of partnerships as the
"backbone" of global efforts to tackle the scourge of human
trafficking.

"Partnership is the backbone for effective coordinated efforts to
implement a human-rights based approach while addressing this
multi-faceted phenomenon,"
<"http://www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=13869&LangID=E">said
the human rights experts from the United Nations, the Council of
Europe and the Organization for Co-operation and Security in Europe
(OSCE), on the occasion of the European Anti-Trafficking Day.

"Cooperation between origin, transit and destination countries, but
also with regional and international mechanisms, as well as private
stakeholders such as multi-national corporations and civil society
organizations, is essential for comprehensive responses to trafficking
in persons."

The UN Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially women
and children, Joy Ezeilo, underlined that trafficking is a grave
violation of human rights which leads to further abuses.

"The rights of victims should be the beating heart driving all efforts
towards eradicating this phenomenon which leads thousands of women,
girls, men and boys in situation of profound exploitation and
violence," Ms. Ezeilo said. "The victims, whose rights are stolen,
have to be protected, assisted, provided remedies, and re-integrated."

Human trafficking is a multi-billion dollar industry which has trapped
some 21 million men, women and children in forced labour. According to
2005 estimates released by the International Labour Organization
(ILO), profits generated in the sex industry alone are as high as $32
billion a year. Furthermore, nearly one-third of all victims of human
trafficking officially detected around the world between 2007 and 2010
were children, according to a report released in December 2012 by the
UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) citing data from 132 countries.

The President of the Council of Europe Group of Experts on Action
against Trafficking in Human Beings (GRETA), Nicolas Le Coz,
emphasized that countries have a responsibility under international
and European law to provide protection to victims to ensure their
moral and physical integrity and prevent re-victimization, including
by prosecuting and punishing the traffickers.

"Given the worrying proportions human trafficking has taken, there is
a need to move from a national security model to a human rights-based
approach in order to better identify and assist victims of trafficking
who are often undocumented migrants," Mr. Le Coz said.

For the OSCE Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating
Trafficking in Human Beings, Maria Grazia Giammarinaro, "the
realization of a victim's right to effective remedies is at the core
of the human rights-based approach as redress and compensation are the
key stepping stones on the path to full recovery and social inclusion
without fear or stigma."

The three international expert mechanisms stressed that "a universal
human rights-based approach is paramount to end human trafficking in
the world today."
