2005 Report on Trafficking in Persons
2005 Report:
Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000: Trafficking in Persons Report
http://www.state.gov/g/tip/rls/tiprpt/2005/
2005 Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report
http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/47255.pdf
[full-text, 258 pages][excerpt]
This Report is intended to raise global awareness and spur foreign governments to take effective actions to counter all forms of trafficking in persons — a form of modern day slavery.
The Report has increasinglyfocused the efforts of a growing community of nations to share information and to partner in new and important ways to fight human trafficking. A country that fails to take significant actions to bring itself into compliance with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking in persons receives a negative “Tier 3” assessment in this Report. Such an assessment could trigger the withholding of non-humanitarian, non-trade-related assistance from the United States to that country.
