Each year the Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery, its causes and consequences is requested by the Human Rights Council (HRC) and by the General Assembly (GA) to present an annual report in which he/she describes the activities undertaken.

The annual reports discuss general issues concerning: working methods, theoretical analysis, general trends and developments with regard to their respective mandate and may contain general recommendations. Reports may also contain summaries of all communications transmitted to Governments and the replies received unless contained in addenda to the annual report. Reports on country visits are usually presented as addenda to the annual reports.
