Human trafficking report [US State Dept.]
10:56 PM ET

Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000: Trafficking in Persons Report, US Department of State, June 3, 2005 [report accusing 14 nations of failing to adequately stop the flow of slaves traded into prostitution, child sex work, and forced labor]. Excerpt:
This Report is intended to raise global awareness and spur foreign governments to take effective actions to counter all forms of trafficking in persons — a form of modern day slavery. The Report has increasingly focused the efforts of a growing community of nations to share information and to partner in new and important ways to fight human trafficking. A country that fails to take significant actions to bring itself into compliance with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking in persons receives a negative "Tier 3" assessment in this Report. Such an assessment could trigger the withholding of non-humanitarian, non-trade-related assistance from the United States to that country.
