With regard to protection, recovery and reintegration, regional mechanisms should
take the actions set out in the following paragraphs:
128. Develop minimum standards at the regional level on support and services to be
provided to victims of trafficking in order to enhance the level of protection,

in line with the standards set out in international instruments and guidelines.8

The role of regional organizations is also to promote an effective prosecutorial and
judicial response, with a victim-centred approach. To that effect, regional
organizations should:
130. Promote the establishment of national legal frameworks to criminalize
trafficking, putting the protection of victims (and witnesses) and their access to
effective legal remedies and compensation at the centre of the prosecutorial and
judicial response.
131. Promote the creation and strengthening of specialist anti-trafficking units in
prosecution offices, and promote cross-border and internal cooperation between these
units.
132. Provide specialized training to law enforcement officials (particularly police,
prosecutors and judges).
133. Establish case monitoring and analysis systems to identify lessons learned and
address barriers to effective responses to human trafficking. On that basis, develop
handbooks or guidelines that include standard operating procedures on how to
investigate and prosecute trafficking cases.
134. Promote the adoption of extradition and mutual legal assistance agreements
that incorporate trafficking-related crimes.
