Abstract
This report from the European Institute for Crime Prevention and Control presents guidelines for preventing the abusive recruitment, exploitative employment, and trafficking of migrant workers in the Baltic Sea region. The guidelines were developed through the work of the ADSTRINGO (Addressing Trafficking in Human Beings for Labour Exploitation through Improved Partnerships, Enhanced Diagnostics and Intensified Organisational Approahces) project. The project was conducted to address and tackle the various forms of trafficking and exploitation of migrant workers in the Baltic Sea region. The guidelines are presented in five chapters: 1) Key Principles and Standards; 2) Guidelines for States to prevent abusive and exploitative recruitment and employment practices; 3) Guidelines for businesses: Due diligence in order to prevent abuse and exploitation in recruitment and employment of migrant workers; 4) Guidelines for states, businesses, trade unions and civil society: Joining efforts to protect the rights of migrant workers; and 5) Multidisciplinary cooperation and coordination at the international level.
