Comments:

The compilation is divided into three parts. Part I contains universal instruments and policy relating to human trafficking. Part II contains regional law and policy relating to human trafficking. Part III contains references to additional sources.

The compilation is not comprehensive but rather compiles the relevant provisions of each document. For an exhaustive survey of international refugee and human rights law, see UNHCR's Collection of International Instruments and Legal Texts Concerning Refugees and Others of Concern to UNHCR. Similarly, for a detailed survey of the law relating to the interception of migrants and asylum-seekers, particularly at sea, see UNHCR's Rescue at Sea compilation.
