claim compensation and even fewer receive compensation
payments. 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. A residence permit in the country of destination is essential for access to
remedy for trafficked persons.
