hours at the Noi Bai Airport in Hanoi for investigation by the police on the basis of her participation in a strike against labour exploitation (while she was based in Jordan). Following release, in Viet Nam, N.T.L supported a number of repatriated human trafficking survivors to file a legal complaint against the Hanoi-based labour export company who trafficked N.T.L and others into bonded labour in Jordan. Following lodging the legal complaint N.T.L received numerous verbal and physical threats to her life, including from local police. In response, in search of protection, she moved to another city in Viet Nam. In her new area of residence she was not issued with a household registration and had difficulty in obtaining employment. She was also unable to register her marriage or the birth of her child, because she did not have a household registration. She has since fled Viet Nam and has been recognised as a refugee by UNHCR. 24. The Government of Viet Nam does not fully meet the minimum standards for the elimination of human trafficking.40 However, it is making various efforts to do so.41 25. For example, it is significant that Viet Nam’s domestic law recognises the vulnerability of stateless persons to human trafficking.42 That is, the Law No. 66/2011/QH12 on human trafficking prevention and combat states that “victims who are Vietnamese citizens or stateless persons permanently residing in Viet Nam may depending on the cases specified in Articles 33 thru (sic) 38 of this Law enjoy the following regimes: Support to meet essential needs and for travel expenses; Medical support; Psychological support; Legal aid; Support in general education and vocational training; and initial difficulty allowance, support in loan borrowing”. 43 26. The effective implementation of the recommendations in the 2018 Trafficking in Persons report to Viet Nam is imperative to ending human trafficking in Viet Nam, including human trafficking of stateless persons. These recommendations include: 26.1. “develop and train officials on implementing guidelines for Articles 150 and 151 of the new penal code, with a focus on identifying and investigating forced labor and internal trafficking cases”; 26.2. “vigorously prosecute all forms of trafficking and convict and punish traffickers, including in cases involving forced labor or complicit officials”; 26.3. “strengthen efforts to monitor labor recruitment companies and enforce regulations prohibiting the imposition of recruitment fees”; 40 U.S. Department of State, Trafficking in Persons Report (June 2018) https://www.state.gov/documents/organization/282798.pdf; U.S. Department of State, above n 38. 41 Ibid. 42 See also Tien Le, Human Trafficking in Vietnam: Preventing Crime and Protecting Victims Through Inter-Agency Cooperation (2017) <https://eprints.qut.edu.au/110537/1/Tien%20Hoang_Le_Thesis.pdf>. 43 Law on Human Trafficking Prevention and Combat (Vietnam) No. 66/2011/QH12 [International Labour Organisation Trans (Law on Human Trafficking Prevention and Combat (No. 66/2011/QH12) (29 March 2011) < https://www.ilo.org/dyn/natlex/docs/ELECTRONIC/91653/106409/F-1429920306/VNM91653%20Eng.pdf>]. 8
