The manual follows the structure of the December 2004 Experts Group report, focusing on measures recommended by the Experts Group and presenting questions to allow Member States to assess whether they are implementing these and a total of 55 indicators to allow Member States to measure their progress. The manual consists of four separate but overlapping parts. Part I focuses on six guiding principles, all of which are essential foundation stones if the range of other actions required to combat trafficking in human beings are to be successful. The subsequent three parts focus on prevention (Part II), protection and assistance (Part III) and law enforcement strategies (Part IV). The manual ends with two appendices. Appendix 1 contains a list of acronyms and glossary of terms. Appendix contains a table summarising the 55 ‘key questions’ for Member States. It has a short bibliography at the end.
