Th e aim of this assessment is to analyse this right and how it is implemented in eight diff er- ent OSCE states. It also develops recommendations to improve the ability of compensation mechanisms to deliver compensation awards to a greater number of traffi cked persons and promotes a broad rights culture to support that objective. Th e assessment is based on desk research and questionnaires with interlocutors from non-governmental organizations (NGOs), inter-governmental organizations (IGOs) and governments in: Albania, France, Moldova, Romania, the Russian Federation, Ukraine, United Kingdom, and the United States of America. It was also presented and discussed as the background paper for an ODI- HR workshop on compensating traffi cked persons held in Barcelona in December 2007. Th e assessment analyses the right to compensation for traffi cked persons in internation- al law through the lens of a wide range of international standards that relate to combating traffi cking, the rights of crime victims, the rights of migrants, labour rights and the rights of victims of gender-based violence. It concludes that the right to compensation mainly con- sists of a right to claim compensation from the traffi cker/exploiter and, in cases of violent crime, a right to compensation from state funds. Th ese standards have also developed the principle that the profi ts made by traffi ckers through their exploitative activities should be used to benefi t traffi cked persons either individually or collectively. Although there have been some successful claims against traffi ckers/exploiters, they have been limited to cases where the traffi cker or exploiter has been prosecuted and convicted (in a criminal claim) or had been located and sued in a civil action. Civil claims can be pursued within the criminal procedure in all of the countries analysed, except the UK. Th e amount of damages awarded through such claims is assessed in diff erent ways in each country. Civil claims can also be pursued independently from a criminal case, for example where a crimi- nal procedure is not instituted. Th e US is the only country where a compensation claim for the victim (known in the US as “restitution”) is automatically part of the criminal proceed- ings in traffi cking cases. Th ere have been a signifi cant number of cases in the US, Ukraine, and Moldova where compensation has been granted to traffi cked persons using civil claims 10 within criminal proceedings. In the UK a compensation order can be imposed by a court within criminal proceedings as part of the penalties imposed on a convicted criminal.

    SECTION I: Course Overview Critical Perspectives on Italy: Contemporary Culture & Society UCD Course Title: Contemporary Issues in Italian Culture and Society UNH Course Code: SOC320, ANT320 UCD Course Code: ITA108S Subject Areas: Sociology, Anthropology Prerequisites: Two one-hundred or one two-hundred level course in Anthropology, Sociology, Italian Studies, Cultural Studies, or approval of Academic Director. Language of Instruction: English Contact Hours: 45 Recommended Credits: 3 TIME: TUES. 3:00-4.20 THURS. 3:00-4.20 COURSE DESCRIPTION This course provides you with an interactive experience of contemporary life in Italy, by exploring a range of defining features of this country and its people. In-class and on-site lectures will alert you to salient socio- political and cultural phenomena in current Italian life, triggering critical analysis and evaluation of your surroundings. In particular, you will observe and reflect on practices of identity formation, as these are expressed in class, gender, and community relations; political allegiance and conflict; cultural alignment or dissent; social solidarity and artistic innovation. You will actively and independently deploy the primary modes of sociological research to directly engage the host society: participant observation, interviews, and field-notes. These will provide opportunities to compare your own direct experiences with scholarly literature on contemporary Italy in an attempt to identify specific local expressions of broadly identified social patterns. This course is taught in English and requires no prior study of Italian language, but your direct engagement with Italian society will expose you to the Italian language in a variety of contexts, and you will be encouraged to extend and apply your developing language skills at whatever level they are.

    1 The Limits of Hospitality. Lampedusa, Local Perspectives and Undocumented Migration Paper presented at the Migration Working Group, EUI, Florence, 13.2.2008 First draft, do not quote without permission Heidrun Friese, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität, Frankfurt am Main and Europa Universität Viadrina, Frankfurt/Oder In queste mura non ci si sta che di passaggio. Qui la meta è partire Giuseppe Ungaretti Dans les civilisations sans bateaux les rêves se tarissent Michel Foucault Abstract Since the late 1990's the island of Lampedusa has become one of the European frontiers for 'irregular' migrants and asylum seekers and a powerful symbol for European policies that try to limit their entrance. Based on extensive anthropological fieldwork, the paper presents first insights of an ongoing multi- sited project on The Limits of Hospitality and envisions the various local actors and areas of conflicts that are articulated by the increasing arrival of undocumented migrants. Historically, hospitality has been a religious and ethical duty, a (sacred) demand of charity, generosity and responsibility. With the development of the modern nation-state, such duties have been inscribed into the procedures of organized, public solidarity and into the national and international legal system that order citizenship, (political) membership and the precarious status assigned to 'aliens' that shape, govern and limit the hospitable welcome of an Other. At the same time, concepts of hospitality gained an immense relevance for ongoing debates on migration, globalization and multiculturalism and are currently been discussed in philosophical debates on renewed forms of cosmopolitism, global justice and the rights of others which aim at troubling the conventional congruence of citizenship, territory and belonging.

Rear Admiral Chris Parry, likened modern immigration to the Goths and Vandals, saying that Europe could be subjected to ‘reverse colonisation’ over the next twelve years.1 Not since the days of Enoch Powell has such apocalyptic language been so acceptable, and its message so widely accepted. There is no recognition of responsibility for the refugees from the wars and anti-Muslim crusades of the middle east, the resource wars of Africa, the fall-out wars born of the perverse boundaries of colonialism and the proxy wars against communism, those displaced by economic wars on the poor or by death squads. They, not the western policies and actions creating or contributing to their displacement, are seen by western European politicians and popular media as ‘the problem’.
