Trafficking in Human Beings by Silvia Scarpa Pdf

In recent decades the international community has focused its attention on trafficking in persons, one of the most worrying phenomena of the 21st century. In Part I, this book examines trafficking in persons in the light of the recent definition of the phenomenon given by the UN Trafficking Protocol, and various other international legal instruments including treaties and 'soft law'. It analyses trafficking causes and consequences, and the most common forms of exploitation related to it. Part II reviews the most important international conventions against slavery and the slave trade, and the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children. It also analyses the most important policy documents setting the basic standards of protection for trafficked victims - namely the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights' Recommended Principles and Guidelines on Human Rights and Human Trafficking - and comments on the extension of the jus cogens principle of international law that prohibits slavery, to argue that trafficking in persons ought rightly to be considered a part of it. Part III deals with the Council of Europe and the European Union, and their fight against trafficking in people, arguing that the focus has been placed mistakenly on the prosecution of traffickers rather than on the protection of trafficked victims. The book concludes with a recommendation to shift towards a more balanced approach to trafficking in persons, and the overriding need to conduct further research on specific issues related to the spread of trafficking and the exploitation of its victims.

The International Law of Human Trafficking by Anne T. Gallagher Pdf

Although human trafficking has a long and ignoble history, it is only recently that trafficking has become a major political issue for states and the international community and the subject of detailed international rules. Anne T. Gallagher calls on her direct experience working within the United Nations to chart the development of new international laws on this issue. She links these rules to the international law of state responsibility as well as key norms of international human rights law, transnational criminal law, refugee law and international criminal law, in the process identifying and explaining the major legal obligations of states with respect to preventing trafficking, protecting and supporting victims, and prosecuting perpetrators. This book is a groundbreaking work: a unique and valuable resource for policymakers, advocates, practitioners and scholars working in this controversial and important field.

Trafficking of Human Beings from a Human Rights Perspective by Tom Obokata Pdf

It has been widely accepted that trafficking of human beings is a human rights issue. However, it has been difficult to address the human rights aspects of the phenomenon in practice, because a comprehensive analysis of applicable human rights norms and principles has not been fully developed, and therefore the nature of obligations imposed upon States is not entirely clear. The purpose of this book, then, is to establish a human rights framework to promote better understanding of the multi-faceted problems inherent in trafficking of human beings, articulate obligations imposed upon States, and facilitate a holistic approach. The book also contains chapters on case studies at the national, regional, and international levels, thereby combining the theory and practice.

Transnational Crime and Human Rights by Susan Kneebone,Julie Debeljak Pdf

Despite the international community's attempts to offer a coordinated response to the issue of 'human trafficking' in the twenty first century, there are indications that the trafficking is actually on the increase, and is a growing part of the global economy. This book offers an evaluation of responses to the transnational crime of human trafficking and governance of the issue through a case study of the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) which comprises Cambodia, the People's Republic of China, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Myanmar, Thailand, and Viet Nam. It analyzes the international and national legal and policy frameworks and the role of governments, international and national non-governmental institutions, and regional processes, in responding to trafficking issues in the GMS. The advantages and limits of the new international framework for tackling human trafficking are explored from the perspective of the region's experience with international and national multi-lateral programmes, illustrating how the new international framework for tackling human trafficking has translated into practice. The book considers issues about competing mandates, and gaps in strategies for protection and concludes with a discussion of broader lessons to be learned from the GMS situation and suggestions for future governance strategies in the fight against trafficking.

Human Trafficking - Human Rights by Sandhya Drew Pdf

This unique publication sets out the legal framework and practice at national level with regard to human trafficking, including the changes brought about as a result of the UK ratification of the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings. Human Trafficking - Human Rights: law and practice will be of great use not just to practitioners, advisers and policy-makers working directly with victims of trafficking but also to the non-specialist practitioners who encounter trafficked persons and would like to know how best to help them. Trafficking in human beings has become a major problem in the UK with an increasing number of people, the vast majority of them women and children, from impoverished parts of the world falling victim to trafficking for the purposes of sexual or other exploitation. The victims of trafficking regularly find themselves in a perilously vulnerable situation, often facing coercion and violence, unprotected by employment law safeguards and fearful of attempting to get help from the relevant authorities. Human Trafficking - Human Rights: law and practice sets out to explain and discuss issues of theory such as definitions of legal terminology but goes further, providing invaluable practical guidance on how to assist victims. Covering both the use of civil law as well as criminal law, it provides helpful advice on how to deal with the identification of victims and how best to use national referral systems.

Human Trafficking in Conflict by Julia Muraszkiewicz,Toby Fenton,Hayley Watson Pdf

This edited book ​examines the different forms of human trafficking that manifest in conflict and post-conflict settings and considers how the military may help to address or even facilitate it. It explores how conflict can facilitate human trafficking, how it can manifest through a variety of case studies, followed by a discussion of the reasons why the military should include a stronger consideration of human trafficking within their strategic planning given the multiple scenarios in which military forces come into contact with victims of human trafficking, and how this ought to be done. Human Trafficking in Conflict draws on the expertise of scholars and practitioners to develop the existing conversations and to offer multiple perspectives. It includes a discussion of existing frameworks and perspectives including legal and policy, and whether they are configured to address human trafficking in conflict.
