Model Guidelines on Government Measures to Prevent Trafficking for Labour in Supply Chains
Trafficking in human beings is a human rights abuse and a lucrative crime that can be found in the production of goods, and in the delivery of services we consume. Today’s globalized economy is characterized by complex supply chains, with goods, materials and labour sourced from all around the world. It can be difficult for buyers and consumers to be sure that the goods or services they purchase or procure were not produced by trafficked labour. Therefore, addressing this issue of trafficking in human beings in supply chains is an area of urgent concern.
