A/HRC/12/21 page 22 • Protection and promotion of the rights of victims of bonded labour should be part of the educational programmes on forced labour. These training programmes should be delivered to State and non-State actors. • Research needs to be developed on bonded labour with regard to its links to land reform, the impact of privatization programmes, access to microcredit, labour migration policies, and immigration and foreign labour recruitment policies. This research should contain gender- and age-specific data. • All the development programmes should be carefully audited from the perspective of human rights protection and inclusion. • Policies and practices should be developed to ensure the effective access of vulnerable people to their rights to education, health, food, land and secure employment. • Businesses should include human rights principles, including provisions on the prevention of and protection against forced labour, in all contracts with joint venture partners, suppliers and subcontractors. Businesses should apply human rights through their entire business supply chains. 99. With regard to the prosecution of violators and the protection of the rights of victims of forced labour (including bonded labour), the Special Rapporteur recommends the following: • Specific legislation with regard to bonded labour also needs to be developed. This needs to be done alongside the establishment of compensation schemes and reintegration programmes for those who suffered from this crime. • National legislation should view forced labour in a global context incorporating criminalization of different forms of forced labour not limited to trafficking in human beings and specifically including bonded labour and other slavery-like practices. • Existing legislation on forced labour should be enforced and bonded labour should be criminalized; compensation schemes should be sought for those who suffered from that crime. • Stronger guidelines and policing of labour agents, e.g. domestic labour agencies and construction labour contractors, and of marriage brokers and small industries in remote areas, should be developed. • Monitoring mechanisms should be developed for employment agencies and their supply chains to detect and combat bonded labour. • Cooperation should be established between the labour inspection services, law enforcement agencies, other State agencies and NGOs that have professional competence in the area.
