چکیده:
Human trafficking is a crime contrary to human dignity and human rights, and effective combat against it involves prevention strategies, support for victims, and criminal prosecution of the perpetrator. Support for victims of human trafficking is based on humanitarian reasons and human rights values, as they are the victim of the crime and not the perpetrator; supporting them aids their cooperation with justice organizations and prevents re-victimization. On this basis, transnational documents such as the United Nations Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, and the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings, have provided compensatory measures that assist in the physical, psychological, and social recovery of the victim. Among the most important of these measures are: non-punishment of the victim for crimes they were forced to commit during the trafficking process, provision of adequate housing or shelter, material assistance, residence permits, medical and psychological services, vocational training and rehabilitation programs, provision of information, counseling and legal aid, facilitating the victim's participation in judicial proceedings, translation services, etc. The aforementioned European Convention holds a superior position compared to the mentioned Protocol in that it stipulates more supportive measures, such as recovery periods and access to the labor market. This article suggests that, in line with Iran's criminal policy regarding the strategy of supporting victims of human trafficking, the country's legislative power should provide necessary measures for the protection of victims of human trafficking crimes under the law.

On this basis, transnational documents such as the United Nations Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, and the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings, have provided a range of supportive measures that assist in the physical, psychological, and social recovery of the victim.
For this reason, transnational documents related to human trafficking, especially the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children (Palermo Protocol) adopted by the United Nations in 2000, and the Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings (Warsaw Convention) adopted by the Council of Europe in 20057, have explicitly stated the organization of supportive measures for victims of human trafficking.
This is while, in principle, one of the reasons and purposes for adopting transnational documents related to human trafficking was to provide an appropriate mechanism for protecting the victims of this crime; however, before explaining these matters, it is necessary to mention a few topics in this regard: 1-The implementation of many supportive measures and arrangements cannot be the responsibility of governments alone, and in this regard, based on a participatory criminal policy, especially non-governmental organizations (NGOs) must act to assist governments (Lideholt 20, 2006:91); this has also been mentioned in the Palermo Protocol (Article 6) and the Warsaw Convention (Article 12).
