TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS REPORT 2008
In the seven years since the creation of the Department of State’s Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons, the United States and our friends and allies have made important strides in confronting the reality that human beings continue to be bought and sold in the twenty-first century. It has been gratifying to witness the determined governments, human rights and women’s groups, faith-based organizations, and many brave individuals who are dedicated to advancing human dignity worldwide. Trafficking and exploitation plague all nations, and no country, even ours, is immune.

TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS REPORT 2007
Trafficking in persons is a modern-day form of slavery, a new type of global slave trade. Perpetrators prey on the most weak among us, primarily women and children, for profit and gain. They lure victims into involuntary servitude and sexual slavery. Today we are again called by conscience to end the debasement of our fellow men and women. As in the 19th century, committed abolitionists around the world have come together in a global movement to confront this repulsive crime. President George W. Bush has committed the United States Government to lead in combating this serious 21st century challenge, and all nations that are resolved to end human trafficking have a strong partner in the United States.

COUNTRY REPORTS ON HUMAN RIGHTS PRACTICES 2007
On March 11, 2008 the U.S. Department of
State released the Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2007,
including the report on the Slovak
Republic. These reports
are submitted annually to the U.S. Congress and cover internationally
recognized individual, civil, political, and worker rights, as set forth in the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As President Bush has said, “Freedom can
be resisted, and freedom can be delayed, but freedom cannot be denied.” In the
long run, citizens who sacrifice for their dignity and their rights will
prevail, just as the Havels and the Mandelas
did before them. Like those towering figures, many of today’s defenders of
human rights are denounced and persecuted, vilified as traitors, and targeted
for repression by their own governments – just for insisting upon the freedoms
enshrined in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. These
values are the basic endowments of all human beings, and the surest way to
protect and preserve them is through effective, lawful, democratic governance.
To be sure, no nation’s path to democracy is smooth or straight. Along the way,
there are bound to be stumbles and setbacks. Even under the best of
circumstances, it is not easy to transform democratic ideals into effective
democratic institutions. Leaders who are insufficiently committed to reform may
revert to authoritarian habits or take disastrous detours from the rule of law.

COUNTRY REPORTS ON HUMAN RIGHTS PRACTICES 2006
On March 6, the U.S. Department of State released the Country
Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2006, including the report on the Slovak
Republic. These reports are submitted annually to the U.S. Congress and cover
internationally recognized individual, civil, political, and worker rights, as
set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The U.S. Embassy’s
support for human rights, however, is not confined to contributing information
to the Country Reports on Human Rights Practices. Recently, Ambassador Rodolphe
Vallee spoke at the Third Annual Roma Political Leadership Academy in support of
human rights. Ambassador Vallee addressed the need for the audience of Roma
activists to actively engage in the political process so that their voice will
be heard on the issue.

INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT 2006
Faith as a personal choice and an essential freedom is a
cornerstone of the American character, rooted in the vision of our founding
fathers. Freedom of religion has been one of our foremost liberties from the
birth of our nation to this day, and the resolve of Americans to champion that
freedom – not only at home, but also around the world – has remained steadfast.
As Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has stated, "There is no more fundamental
issue for the United States than freedom of religion and religious conscience.
This country was founded on that basis, and it is at the heart of democracy."

TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS REPORT 2003
"The Annual Trafficking in Persons Report is about
modern day slavery and slave trading. It is appalling that in the twenty-first
century hundreds of thousands of women, children, and men made vulnerable by
civil conflict, dire economic circumstances, natural disasters or just their own
desire for a better life are trafficked and exploited for the purposes of sex or
forced labor. The deprivation of a human being's basic right to freedom is an
affront to the ideals of liberty and human dignity cherished by people around
the world." - Secretary of State Colin L. Powell.
