What’s
unique about our policy goal of eradicating modern-day slavery is that we have,
very much at Congress’s direction, a comprehensive tool: The Annual Trafficking
In Persons Report, which allows us to diagnose the problem and track progress.
This year’s report covers 170 countries: 153 are assessed and ranked into Tier
1, Tier 2, Tier 2 Watch List, and Tier 3; another 17 countries are
considered special cases, often because we lack sufficient information to
assess whether a significant number of trafficking victims exist in those
countries.
