Petition to the Governments that have signed the UN Human Trafficking Protocol:

We, the undersigned, call on governments who have signed or ratified the UN Human Trafficking Protocol to urgently support creating a review mechanism for the UNTOC Human Trafficking Protocol to ensure that all governments:

- Reflect on both the progress made to date on human trafficking and the gaps which remain in ensuring the objectives of the UN Protocol on Human Trafficking are met;

- Review legislation, policy and practice which has been implemented or used to combat human trafficking to see what impact has been made; and

- Use evidence based approaches to guide anti-trafficking responses, and engage in genuine dialogue with both trafficked persons and civil society service providers and advocates working on trafficking in order to ensure their views inform States Parties’ responses.
