Anti-trafficking To further promote National Referral Mechanism (NRM) principles and the need for a human rights approach to trafficking, ODIHR contributed to a number of conferences and events in 2008. One of these was the United Nations Global Initiative to Fight Human Trafficking forum, held in Vienna in February, where ODIHR made a presentation on “Civil Society Cooperation with Law Enforcement”. Representatives of international and non-governmental organizations and government officials discussed issues related to the protection of victims of trafficking. To support the development of anti-trafficking policy in the Russian Federation, the concept of National Referral Mechanisms Assessments was presented and discussed in February during a conference co-organized with the Moscow office of the International Organization for Migration. The aim of the report was to raise awareness about good practices and gaps in the identification and protection of trafficked persons in Russia, with a special emphasis on the situation of exploited migrant workers. 42 Annual Report 2008 The report was subsequently used by government officials and NGOs as a resource to help improve their anti-trafficking work. Another important opportunity for ODIHR to evaluate how participating States have developed NRM systems came at a regional conference on the issue organized in October by La Strada Moldova, an NGO, with participants from Belarus, Bulgaria, Moldova, Romania, Russia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and Ukraine. A number of these states presented NRM reviews at the event. ODIHR contributed extensively to the development of the concept for the conference and its agenda, as well as providing support for the participation of NGOs from Russia. Of particular interest was the opportunity to assess how effective attempts to identify and assist trafficked persons have been. To highlight the need for individual legal remedies for victims of trafficking and, more specifically, to ensure their right to compensation, ODIHR launched the publication Compensation for Trafficked and Exploited Persons in the OSCE Region in May in Vienna. Based on country profiles of eight OSCE participating States, the publication assesses different mechanisms for the compensation of trafficked persons, identifies good compensation practices, and offers recommendations for future action.
