Obviously Americans approve the tier system, but how can anyone with an ounce of common sense think that the USA (tier 1) has less trafficking than Iceland (tier 2)?78.16.51.157 (talk) 11:51, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You can look at the annual reports. Here is the lead from the 2017 report, when Iceland were downgraded:
The Government of Iceland does not fully meet the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking; however, it is making significant efforts to do so. The government made significant efforts to meet the minimum standards during the reporting period by opening a center offering free comprehensive services
to victims of abuse, including trafficking, and establishing specialized teams to investigate trafficking and educate government employees on the crime. However, these efforts were not serious and sustained compared to the efforts during the previous reporting period. The government did not prosecute or convict any suspected traffickers for the sixth consecutive year and decreased investigations of suspected traffickers. Therefore, Iceland was downgraded to Tier 2.
