Summary/Abstract: The judgment commented on in this study concerns the question of compensation for damages suffered by victims of human trafficking. Based on international texts protecting victims, the European Court of Human Rights has developed its case-law, establishing the right of the applicant to obtain compensation for material damages and, consequently, the positive obligation of the respondent State to ensure such compensation at the national level. The present judgment thus marks an important development in the conventional protection of victims, who will now be able to seek compensation not only for the non-pecuniary damage suffered, but also for financial damages.
