Trafficking in Persons Report 2011

The 2011 edition of the Trafficking in Persons Report (TIP) was released yesterday by the U.S. Department of State. The report assesses over 180 countries, including the U.S., on their efforts to combat trafficking. Countries are placed into one of three Tiers, as follows:

• Tier 1: Countries whose governments fully comply with the TVPA’s minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking.
• Tier 2: Countries whose governments do not fully comply with the TVPA’s minimum standards but are making significant efforts to bring themselves into compliance with those standards.
• Tier 3: Countries whose governments do not fully comply with the minimum standards and are not making significant efforts to do so.

A more detailed explanation about the Tiers is available here.
