9. SOUNDBITE (English) Navi Pillay, High Commissioner for Human Rights, United Nations:
“The recommended principles on Human Rights and Human Trafficking are built around four pillars, the primacy of human rights, the prevention of trafficking by addressing root causes, the extension of protection and assistance to all victims instead of criminalisation and the punishment of perpetrators and redress of victims.”

The global momentum against human trafficking should be encouraged while focusing on a human rights approach in tackling it, United Nations (UN) Human Rights Chief Navi Pillay said today during her visit to Moldova.
Following her meeting with Moldova’s acting President Marian Lupu, Pillay launched the UN Human rights guideline’s in dealing with trafficking in Moldova.
She added “we shouldn’t allow the agenda to be diverted to distinct concerns such as clamping down on irregular migration, without addressing illegal migration avenues that keep migrants out of the reach of smugglers and human traffickers.”
Pillay lauded anti-trafficking efforts observing that it has in the past decade emerged as a priority globally but emphasised that this agenda can build on existing legal structures established by the UN Human Rights system.
Calling for analysis into the ways in which human rights violations arise during trafficking, she listed key guiding factors including the “protection and assistance to all victims.”
