Measures to combat irregular migration have negative consequences for the prevention, protection of victims, and prosecution of trafficking
The monitoring body of the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings, the Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings (GRETA), has published its 5th general report. The report summarises GRETA’s activities between 1 October 2014 and 31 December 2015 and includes country-specific findings and recommendations and has a strong focus on how to improve the mechanisms of identification and protection of victims of trafficking among asylum seekers, refugees and migrants for identification of victims of trafficking with an irregular migration status, including at borders, in decisions around expulsion orders, and in detention. The report also highlights its cooperation with civil society as well as intergovernmental originations such as the EU.
