Summary
The Department of State is required by law to submit a Report each year to the U.S. Congress on foreign governments’ efforts to eliminate severe forms of trafficking in persons. This Report is the seventh annual TIP Report. It is intended to raise global awareness, to highlight efforts of the international community, and to encourage foreign governments to take effective actions to counter all forms of trafficking in persons. The Report has increasingly focused the efforts of a growing community of nations on sharing information and partnering in new and important ways. A country that fails to make significant efforts to bring itself into compliance with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking in persons, per U.S. law, receives a “Tier 3” assessment in this Report. Such an assessment could trigger the withholding of nonhumanitarian, non-trade-related assistance from the United States to that country. In assessing foreign governments’ efforts, the TIP Report highlights the “three P’s”— prosecution, protection, and prevention. But a victim-centered approach to trafficking requires us equally to address the “three R’s”— rescue, rehabilitation, and reintegration. The full TIP Report as well as its separate parts are available in PDF format at http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/82902.pdf
