1st Evaluation round - Overview of the implementation of the Council of Europe Anti-Trafficking convention
Launched on 1 February 2010
Overview of the implementation of the Convention by each Party
For the first evaluation round, GRETA selected the provisions of the Council of Europe Anti-Trafficking Convention which provide an overview of the implementation of the Convention by each Party. The questionnaire is structured into three parts:
I. Integration of the core concepts and definitions contained in the Convention in the internal law of the parties
- Integration of the Human Rights approach to action against trafficking in human beings
- Comprehensive approach to THB, co-ordination of all actors and actions to prevent and combat THB and to protect its victims, and international co-operation
- Definition of “THB” and of “victim” in the internal law of the parties
II. Implementation by the parties of measures aimed to prevent THB, protect and promote the rights of victims of THB and prosecute traffickers
- Implementation of measures to prevent THB
- Implementation of measures to protect and promote the rights of victims of trafficking in human beings
- Implementation of measures concerning substantive criminal law, investigation, prosecution and procedural law
III. Statistics on THB
The Council of Europe Anti-Trafficking Convention is the first international legal instrument to take a human rights-based approach to the fight against human trafficking.
An important added value of the Council of Europe Anti-Trafficking Convention is the monitoring mechanism set up to supervise its implementation by State Parties
