A/HRC/14/32 70. The EU has launched several initiatives aimed at designing a standardized system for the collection of qualitative and quantitative data and analysis of human trafficking. While this is still in progress, its intention is that, once completed, the system would be shared with a view to developing a common or at least comparable template in the EU and third countries for the collection of data relating to all aspects of trafficking. In this regard, a Ministerial Conference on “Guidelines for the Collection of Data on Trafficking in Human Beings, Including Comparable Indicators” was held on 23–24 February 2009 by the Austrian Ministry of the Interior, IOM and the EU. Prevention 71. Prevention encompasses multiple aspects, from awareness-raising to training, research and development projects. In its latest Work Plan (COMMIT SPA II (2008–2010), COMMIT in the Mekong region has centred its prevention policy on the risks linked to unsafe migration. It includes activities such as research on formal versus informal recruitment of migrant workers, developing regional guidelines, taking direct measures to reduce vulnerabilities in source areas, in the migration and recruitment processes and in workplaces, and promote closer cooperation between sending and receiving countries in monitoring working conditions of migrant workers. COMMIT also promotes the inclusion of trafficking training in secondary school curricula. 72. Awareness-raising for persons vulnerable to trafficking and action aimed at discouraging demand are among the prevention measures adopted by the CoE. In this context, it launched the anti-trafficking campaign “Human beings – not for sale” (2006– 2008). Forty-one (41) countries participated in the 11 awareness-raising seminars, which aimed to highlight the type of preventive measures that can be taken. The CoE also published a comic strip “You’re not for sale” in 17 languages, aimed at raising awareness of the dangers of trafficking among young people. Finally, in 2007 it prepared a study entitled “Trafficking in human beings: Internet recruitment” on the misuse of the Internet for the recruitment of victims of trafficking. 73. Similarly, the AU.COMMIT Campaign aims at curbing both the supply and demand for human trafficking, in partnership with several United Nations agencies. The Campaign included the production of television advertisements, the distribution of 1,000 copies of the Ouagadougou Action Plan, of 1,000 T-shirts with the slogan “AU.COMMIT: Stop Trafficking” and of 1,000 copies of pamphlets, pins, posters, etc. In line with the three main strategies of the Ouagadougou Plan of Action, the AU.COMMIT Campaign will be implemented in three phases, focusing in 2009–2010 on prevention of, and response to, trafficking, in 2010–2011 on protection of victims and in 2011–2012 on prosecution of traffickers. Protection 74. In terms of protection, proper identification of victims is the first and fundamental step. However, it is probably the most difficult, for which considerable capacity-building efforts are required. On this issue, the EU joined forces with ILO to launch the DELPHI method to establish indicators for each type of trafficking. This is a valuable tool to assist law enforcement officials in the identification of victims. Moreover, the EU Commission developed “Recommendations on the identification and referral to services of victims of trafficking in human beings”. Since training is crucial in this area, a seminar was held under the Austrian EU Presidency with experts from Governments and NGOs at which best practices in the field of identification and support for victims were discussed. 75. Another essential step in guaranteeing the protection of victims is the establishment of adequate referral mechanisms. OSCE has been very active in this regard, promoting the establishment of national referral mechanisms and victim assistance systems at the national 14 GE.10-13211
