- Summary
- The eighth Annual Report produced by the OSCE Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings (SR/CTHB) covers the period from January to early December 2013, which corresponds roughly to the fourth and final year of the term of Maria Grazia Giammarinaro. The Annual Report presents the work carried out by the Special Representative and her office. This includes chapters on: country visits, the 13th Alliance Against Trafficking in Persons conference, the non-punishment of victims of trafficking, preventing domestic servitude in diplomatic households, trafficking in human beings for the purpose of organ removal in the OSCE region, trafficking in human beings amounting to torture and other forms of ill-treatment, working with participating States and the Mediterranean, partners for cooperation to prevent human trafficking, human rights and business, and working with the media to raise public awareness. It also provides an overview of the external cooperation efforts that the Special Representative has been engaged in throughout 2013, such as with international organisations, civil society, trade unions, and other non-state partners and on the Alliance against Trafficking in Persons.
