This report is of great significance in the effort to close the gap between international commitments and action. Publicity is often the only instrument available to close this gap. But too often these kind of abuses are ignored when countries are off the front page of the international media. In this case we are talking not only about a gap between international standards and local practice but also a gap between local laws and local enforcement. This is precisely the kind of problem that article 2 aims to address. In the absence of local and international enforcement, attention to this report is
vital to progress in this important area.
