In this Book The writers explain the current approaches against human

trafficking, providing the reader with evidence as to how these methods

are not properly effective as responding to, treating, and preventing

victims of human trafficking. For instance, the nation's current political

view is focused on immigration and keeping danger from entering our

country, overlooking domestic issues and neglecting certain victim

populations. Whereas the proposed approach of ensuring a general

blanket of human rights would treat all victims as equals, providing them

with the resources and rights to protect themselves the authors follow up

with information on how their suggested approaches would be more

successful. Thus, identifying a problem and providing a solution

and Early Assessment.

https://doi.org/10.4324/9780203074732.

This book examines the creation and formative years of the United Nations Human Rights

Council and assesses the extent to which the Council has fulfilled its mandate. International

law and theories of international relations are used to examine the Council and its functions.

Council sessions, procedures and mechanisms are analysed in-depth, with particular

consideration given to whether the Council has become politicised to the same extent as the

Commission. Whilst remaining aware of the key differences in their functions, Rosa

Freedman compares the work of the Council to that of treaty-based human rights bodies. The

author draws on observations from her attendance at Council proceedings in order to offer a

unique account of how the body works in practice.
