There are a number of jurisdictions that have moved, specifically in light of the signing of the Palermo Protocol, to protect victims. I know the United States has legislation; Italy has legislation; and the Council of Europe also has, and in fact I think I have a copy of their legislation here.
Some of those pieces of legislation are contingent upon cooperation and prosecutions. They're very directly tied; some of them are not. Sweden has legislation as well, but I'm not personally familiar with the Swedish legislation. Those are three jurisdictions you can look at.
I know the U.S. has successfully used their legislation to combat some of the trafficking and illegal migrant farm workers who've been sold into virtual slavery working on tomato farms in Florida and various other places. One of the features is that it does lead to permanent status in the United States and protection during the prosecution.
It has been a very effective enforcement tool, I should say, so these things don't have to be mutually exclusive. Providing for and looking after victims assists them to come forward and help you if that is their choice. My only concern is that protection and health not be dependent upon cooperation.
I say that because there's significant evidence that traffickers exert pressure and coercive pressure upon families in the source countries, which makes the trafficked people extremely vulnerable once they arrive here, and it makes prosecution virtually impossible for them unless it's at serious risk to their family back home. I think we need to recognize that and not place victims in a position in which they're being forced to betray their own family in order to get at their traffickers.
