Abstract
Two turning points in the affirmation of rights of victims of human trafficking as a modern form of slavery have been provided by the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings of 2005 and the ECHR judgment in Rantsev v. Cyprus and Russia, January 2010, stating that human trafficking falls within the scope of Article 4 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. The author analyzes the effects of these two historic documents on the system for the prevention of human trafficking in the Republic of Croatia in the part relating to the implementation of the provision on non-punishment of victims of human trafficking and the right of these persons to state compensation.
