Briefing Paper 536 – The 2021 Report on Trafficking in Persons by Peter-John Pearson

Every year since 2000, the US State Department has issued a comprehensive analysis of the scourge of human trafficking and the attempts of various countries to combat it. The report seeks to “improve our collective efforts to comprehensively address human trafficking”. Each year the report assigns a tier ranking to various countries based on their policies, commitment to carrying out the Palermo Protocol, protecting victims, securing convictions and prosecutions, and establishing partnerships with other agencies to combat this crime.
