2. The provisions of the Convention shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to this Protocol unless otherwise
provided herein.11
Protocol Annotation: Paragraphs 1 and 2 incorporate all relevant provisions of the
Convention into the Trafficking Protocol. The Trafficking Protocol contains the majority of
the commitments made by governments regarding trafficking in persons, but a number of
very important provisions (for example, regarding protection of witnesses) are contained in
the Convention.
