"A shared vision binds together the multi-faceted diversity of the OSCE and its activities. This vision is of a territory, stretching across 56 countries, that is united and at peace. It is a vision that is founded on a Decalogue of principles and shared values starting, as the Helsinki Final Act declared, with the need to promote the "inherent dignity of the human being". This singular vision, born in Helsinki, still inspires the work of the OSCE in all its aspects. The Finnish Chairmanship paid fitting tribute to this vision. The determination of the Chairman-in-Office and his team throughout this particularly challenging year was remarkable. The crisis in Georgia in August was shocking. The war was also a reminder of our core mandate: to build a space of co-operative security and to work toward overcoming our- often serious- differences by peaceful means". Extract from the Secretary General's message.

Ce hors-série, le quatrième hors-série publié par le bureau de la Représentante spéciale, est le fruit de la conférence de haut niveau organisée sous les auspices de l’Alliance contre la traite des personnes sur le thème du travail non protégé, de l’exploitation invisible et de la traite des personnes à des fins de servitude domestique, et accueillie par la Représentante spéciale à Vienne les 17 et 18 juin 2010, et du document d’information qui a contribué au dialogue et aux échanges qui ont eu lieu lors de cette conférence. Le présent document est conçu comme un instrument d’orientation politique à destination des décideurs et des praticiens qui s’occupent de la traite des êtres humains sur le terrain. Il est fondé sur une recherche documentaire approfondie, un travail de terrain rigoureux, et des analyses de cas minutieuses afin de jeter un éclairage sur l’une des formes d’esclavage moderne les plus invisibles. Il tient également compte des observations, des apports et des compétences d’ONG spécialisées, et incorpore les contributions précieuses et l’expérience directe des décideurs et des responsables (notamment les autorités de police, les procureurs, les juges et les diplomates), ainsi que des syndicats, des organisations internationales et des universitaires qui ont participé à la conférence de l’Alliance.
