The Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings comes into force in the United Kingdom on 1 April 2009. The implementation of the Convention forms part of the UK’s comprehensive Action Plan on Tackling Human Trafficking and demonstrates the government’s continued commitment to combating this horrific crime.
The purpose of the Convention is to:
- prevent and combat trafficking in human beings;
- identify and protect victims of trafficking and to safeguard their rights; and
- promote international co-operation against trafficking.
The UK was largely compliant with the Convention prior to its ratification in December. But a limited number of legislative, policy and procedural changes have been made across the UK to enhance existing arrangements, most notably around victim identification and protection, some of which go beyond the requirements of the Convention.
