In its annual review of how nations around the world are working to eliminate trafficking and sexual slavery, the State Department on Monday put 13 countries on notice that they are not complying with minimum international standards and could face U.S. penalties unless their records improve.
Other nations receiving a failing grade were the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Dominican Republic, Eritrea, Kuwait, Mauritania, Papua New Guinea, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Zimbabwe.
