Committee of Ministers Recommendation on preventing and combating trafficking in human beings for the purpose of labour exploitation, adopted on 27 September 2022, on the basis of a draft prepared by the CDDH, calls on member states of the Council of Europe to adopt national laws, policies and strategies which address trafficking for the purpose of labour exploitation, following a human rights-based and victim-centred approach. The recommendation supplements the existing legally binding instruments, in particular, the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings. It draws on the monitoring work and guidance of the Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings (GRETA), as well as on the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights and the European Social Charter.
