Guidelines on trafficking in human beings for the criminal justice chain in Ukraine

Five years ago we wrote a review of the law on trafficking in persons in Ukraine. The main focus of the report was on substantive criminal law, i.e. the crime definitions of trafficking in human beings.

The current report is a follow up to this 2001 report, and focuses in particular on the criminal procedural law. Compared to five years ago many improvements have taken place. The Code of Criminal Proceedings has been amended and several other laws have been adopted, improving among other factors the position of the victim/witness in criminal proceedings.
