Amnesty International and Anti-Slavery International assess some of the articles in the draft of the European Convention on Action Against Trafficking in Human Beings in relation to existing international standards and commitments. In the light of this analysis and our experience of working both with and on behalf of trafficked people, we recommend ways in which the text can be amended to ensure the treaty creates a comprehensive framework that protects and respects trafficked people’s human rights.
