- Summary
- Structure of the Progress Report
The Progress Report is structured around seven key components of an effective criminal justice response to trafficking: Strong and comprehensive legal frameworks; Specialist investigative capacity to investigate TIP; Front line capacity to identify and respond to TIP; Prosecutorial and judicial capacity with regard to TIP cases; Victim identification, protection and support; Provision of support to victims as witnesses; International legal cooperation. Each Chapter deals with one component: commencing with a brief examination of the relevant standards that have emerged through a combination of international, regional and national law and policy as well as accepted good practices. Each Chapter then provides an overview of progress in the ASEAN region towards realisation of those standards, illustrated with examples.15 The final section of each Chapter summarises the major obstacles and opportunities towards effective realisation of the relevant component. The chapters conclude with an annex that sets out the relevant standards in tabular form (‘quality standards'). - Related documents
