A/HRC/10/16 page 16 in persons; (3) what international cooperation the Government has undertaken with respect to trafficking in persons in the last 12 months; (4) what priority the Government sees with regard to combating trafficking in persons in their respective countries, regions or in more general terms; (5) the prevalence of the problem of trafficking, whether the country is a source, transit or destination country, and a description of the scale and seriousness of trafficking; and finally what form or aspect of trafficking is considered rampant. 43. The enormous amount of information gathered from so far 67 States that have responded from across the world is not only impressive; it shows that, together, we can undertake data mapping in a harmonized and user-friendly manner that can inform both policy and direct interventions aimed at ending trafficking. B. Focus on promotion and protection of human rights of trafficked victims 44. Undoubtedly, human rights should be at the core of any effort to combat or eliminate trafficking in persons. Trafficking is a grave violation of human rights, in particular the right to liberty, human dignity, and the right not to be held in slavery or involuntary servitude. Moreover, as experiences from around the world show, trafficking is often related to the violation of a wide range of other fundamental human rights. The rights violated include, but are not limited to: the right to freedom from discrimination, right to life and security of person, right to human dignity, freedom from torture, inhuman or degrading treatment, right to recognition as a person before the law, right to freedom from arbitrary detention, right to access to justice, legal aid and representation, right to equal protection before the law, right to compensation and effective remedy, and right to non-conditional assistance, right to privacy, right to freedom of movement, right to information and freedom of expression, right to freedom of association, right to be heard, right not to be held in slavery and freedom from forced or compulsory labour, right to just and favourable conditions of employment, right to remuneration, right to equal pay for equal work, right to marry, right to health, right to bodily integrity, right to reproductive self-determination, right to gender equality. Recommended Principles on Human Rights and Human Trafficking 45. In 2002, OHCHR developed principles and guidelines in order to provide practical, rights-based policy guidance on the prevention of trafficking and the protection of victims of trafficking. 46. Guideline 1 on the promotion and protection of human rights reads as follows: “Violations of human rights are both a cause and a consequence of trafficking in persons. Accordingly, it is essential to place the protection of all human rights at the centre of any measures taken to prevent and end trafficking. Anti-trafficking measures should not adversely affect the human rights and dignity of persons and, in particular, the rights of those who have been trafficked, migrants, internally displaced persons, refugees and asylum-seekers.”
