Combating Trafficking and Exploitation: Human Rights, Social Justice and the Rule of Law
This is the 8th Annual Report produced by the OSCE Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking
in Human Beings (SR/CTHB) according to the requirements of OSCE Ministerial Council Decision No. 13/05 on Combating
Trafficking in Human Beings. This 2005 Decision tasks the SR/CTHB to report annually on the progress achieved over the
preceding year’s anti-trafficking work carried out throughout the OSCE region. This report covers the period from January to
early December 2013, which corresponds roughly to the 4th and final year of the term of Maria Grazia Giammarinaro. This
report will be updated and printed in February 2014 when the SR/CTHB will formally end her mandate as the third OSCE SR.
