20. 委员会欢迎对《检控守则》作出的修订，把强迫劳动纳入人口贩运的定义中(见上文第 5(d)段)；但委员会关切地注意到，尚未对立法框架作出同步变更。在此方面，委员会对许多报告外(来)佣(工)遭到剥削的案件表示关切。委员会还表示遗憾的是，中国香港继续维持可能助长强迫劳动风险的移民政策，例如关于在雇主家庭的“留宿规定”，以及“两星期规则”，根据这一规则外佣必须在合同终止后两星期内离境。虽然被确定为贩运行为受害者的人有可能获准免于因非法入境而被起诉，但委员会表示关切的是，这种可能性取决于警务处、入境处和劳工处的自由裁量，贩运行为或强迫劳动的受害者仍然因非法逗留而受到起诉(第 2 条、第 12 条、第 13 条、第 14 条和第 16 条)。
20. While welcoming the amendment to the prosecution code to include forced labour within the definition of human trafficking (see para. 5 (d) above), the Committee notes with concern that there has been no parallel change in the legislative framework. In this regard, the Committee is concerned over numerous reports of cases of exploitation of migrant domestic workers. It regrets also that Hong Kong, China continues to maintain immigration policies that could contribute to the risk of forced labour, such as the “live-in requirement” in the employing household and the “two week rule”, whereby domestic workers have to leave the territory within two weeks upon termination of their contracts. Notwithstanding the possibility of granting immunity from prosecution to illegal immigrants who have been identified as victims of trafficking, the Committee is concerned that such possibility is subject to the discretion of the police department, the immigration department and the labour department, and that victims of trafficking or forced labour continue to be prosecuted for illegal stay (arts. 2, 12, 13, 14 and 16).
