Trafficking in Persons Report 2008

The Trafficking in Persons Report 2008 was released by the U.S. State Department on June 4, 2008. It "covers 170 countries: 153 are assessed and ranked into Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 2 Watch List, and Tier 3; another 17 countries are considered special cases, often because [of a lack of] sufficient information to assess whether a significant number of trafficking victims exist in those countries" (Briefing by Mark P. Lagon). The Tiers are defined on p. 35 of the Introduction and Tier Placements are listed on p. 44.
