Monitoring

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

 Monitoring procedure

Levels of urgency of GRETA recommendations

GRETA uses three different levels of recommendations in its reports:

“URGE” - when GRETA assesses that the national legislation or policies are not in compliance with the Convention, or when it finds that, despite the existence of legal provisions and other measures, the implementation of a key obligation under the Convention is lacking.

“CONSIDER” - when GRETA assesses that it is necessary to make further improvements to fully comply with a provision of the Convention

“INVITE” - when GRETA assesses that the measures taken to comply with a provision of the Convention are already in place and should be continued and fully implemented in practice
