This manual was developed and published within the frameworks of the Project “Combating trafficking in human beings in the Russian Federation” funded by the Swedish International Development Agency. The manual was developed in cooperation with the Russian Academy of Justice and it is addressed to Russian judges, lawyers and all those interested in learning the specifics of criminal court proceedings into human trafficking cases. Of the 2,000 printed copies of the manual, 1,500 copies were handed over to the Russian Academy of Justice for free dissemination among Russian judges and other stakeholders.
