Compensation mechanisms, which require the perpetrator to pay, are particularly problematic since the claims are rarely paid and only a few of the trafficked persons receive money.182 In conclusion, the relevant instruments concerning trafficking in human beings all use the term compensation, although the terms reparation and right to remedies for victims of gross violations of international human rights law are broader and encompass more than compensation. A comparison between reparation for victims of torture and compensation for trafficked persons shows that concerning torture more forms of reparation are applied. Reparation for trafficked persons currently focuses on compensation, which should be broadened to further means of reparation such as rehabilitation and non-repetition.
