Old Poison In New Bottles: Trafficking And The Extinction Of Respect, Winston P. Nagan, Alvaro De Medeiros
Winston P Nagan
The new form of slavery comes by that relatively innocuous title, “trafficking.” Trafficking is an illustration of the dynamic character of the social and antisocial forces that conspire to undermine the idea of human dignity in the world community. The forms of crime are in fact dynamic. Frequently the institutional forces behind crime have capital, lethal functionaries, technology, and a capacity to advance criminal interests, both within states and across state lines. To the extent that crime itself is dynamic it must as well be acknowledged that human rights violations in general also have a dynamic character. In short, when …
Reconsidering Federal And State Obstacles To Human Trafficking Victim Status And Entitlements, Amanda J. Peters
Reconsidering Federal And State Obstacles To Human Trafficking Victim Status And Entitlements, Amanda J. Peters
Amanda J Peters
Federal and state anti-trafficking laws describe the victim in the process of criminalizing the act of human trafficking. Nearly half of all states adopt the federal definition of victim, which requires proof of forced, defrauded or coerced labor, whereas the other half narrows this definition thereby limiting the number of victims qualifying for state victims services. Using this definition, victims must prove their status before they can access victim entitlements. Even when victims prove their status, they may be denied traditional crime victim benefits like restitution and Crime Victim Compensation funds. In this way, their victim status may be rendered …

Victims Of Human Trafficking In The Asylum Procedure. A Legal Analysis Of The Guarantees For 'Vulnerable Persons' Under The Second Generation Of Eu Asylum Legislation, Vladislava Stoyanova
Victims Of Human Trafficking In The Asylum Procedure. A Legal Analysis Of The Guarantees For 'Vulnerable Persons' Under The Second Generation Of Eu Asylum Legislation, Vladislava Stoyanova
Vladislava Stoyanova
Victims of human trafficking have been designated as a group of migrants in need of special assistance and protection. As a result, a whole legal framework has been developed revolving around this group. Within Europe, this framework operates on two levels: the Council of Europe and the EU. EU law has added an additional layer of sophistication with its second generation of asylum legislation. The category ‘victims of human trafficking’ has been added to the group of persons considered as ‘vulnerable persons’ who might be in need of special reception conditions and/or special procedural guarantees. The objective of this article …
Widening Our Lens: Incorporating Essential Perspectives In The Fight Against Human Trafficking, Jonathan Todres
Widening Our Lens: Incorporating Essential Perspectives In The Fight Against Human Trafficking, Jonathan Todres
Jonathan Todres
In 2000, the international community formally launched the modern movement to combat human trafficking with the United Nations' adoption of the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, Supplementing the United Nations Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime (Trafficking Protocol). With the Trafficking Protocol, the international community created a new cornerstone upon which to build a global initiative to combat this modem form of slavery. As the first major international treaty on human trafficking in half a century, the Trafficking Protocol represented a significant step forward. One hundred forty-seven countries are now party to the …

The Persistence Of Slavery In Rhode Island: Human Trafficking In The Ocean State (Abtract, Peer-Reviewed), Donna M. Hughes Dr., Rachel Dunham, Lucy Tillman, Faith Skodmin, Jessica Wainfor
Donna M. Hughes
This panel will discuss the persistence of slavery in the form of human trafficking in Rhode Island. To address modern-day slavery-like practices, the U.S. passed the Trafficking Victims Protection Act in 2000 and Rhode Island passed the Trafficking of Persons and Involuntary Servitude Act in 2009. Both state and federal anti-human trafficking laws identify two types of human trafficking: forced labor and sex trafficking.
This panel will present the findings of original research done by the five authors during the Spring 2014 on human trafficking cases in Rhode Island from 2009-2013. Sources for analysis of these cases include: police reports, …

Article 4 Of The Echr And The Obligation Of Criminalizing Slavery, Servitude, Forced Labour And Human Trafficking, Vladislava Stoyanova
Vladislava Stoyanova
This article addresses the interaction between international human rights law and national criminal law as exemplified and revealed in relation to the abuses of slavery, servitude, forced labour and human trafficking (THB). First, I point out the mismatch between the interpretative techniques of international human rights law and national criminal law. The reportedly low numbers of prosecutions and convictions for abuses against migrants has gathered increasing attention. As a reaction it has been suggested that the definitions of THB and of slavery, servitude and forced labour (where the latters have been specifically criminalized) have to be expansively construed. These suggestions …
The Crisis Of A Legal Framework: Protection Of Victims Of Human Trafficking In The Bulgarian Legislation, Vladislava Stoyanova
The Crisis Of A Legal Framework: Protection Of Victims Of Human Trafficking In The Bulgarian Legislation, Vladislava Stoyanova
Vladislava Stoyanova
The Council of Europe Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings reported that in Bulgaria no adult victim of human trafficking received any assistance and that no adult victim was granted a reflection period. A close examination of the Bulgarian legislative framework could explain this unpromising picture. In this article, I develop three arguments in relation to the Bulgarian legislation on protection of trafficked persons. First, in some respects, Bulgaria has failed to fulfil its international obligations. Second, the national legal framework regulating the conditions under which trafficked person are assisted and protected is surrounded by legal …
Sex Trafficking In Edo State, Nigeria: Causes And Solutions, Tim S. Braimah
Sex Trafficking In Edo State, Nigeria: Causes And Solutions, Tim S. Braimah
Tim s Braimah
Edo State, the 'Heartbeat of Nigeria', has been labeled as “the most endemic source of human trafficking in Nigeria”. As a result of this negative label, a number of international organizations and non-governmental organizations have intervened to combat sex trafficking in the region. Despite these interventions, sex trafficking is still rife in Edo State. This article argues that political, economic, religious, social and cultural factors contribute to the difficulties in curbing sex trafficking in Edo State. To eradicate it, a joint effort between the government, traditional leaders, religious institutions/NGOs and members of the public is needed.
Commercial Marriage Trafficking--Uncovering A Growing New Form Of Transnational Human Trafficking, And Shaping International Law To Respond, Douglas Maclean
Commercial Marriage Trafficking--Uncovering A Growing New Form Of Transnational Human Trafficking, And Shaping International Law To Respond, Douglas Maclean
Douglas MacLean
Drawing from my work at the United Nations Inter-Agency Project on Human Trafficking, this article exposes the phenomenon of commercial marriage trafficking, a rapidly growing but critically overlooked form of human exploitation, and the conceptual gap in international law that has led to inaction by the international community.I address this gap by 1) creating a definition of commercial marriage trafficking consistent with the Palermo Protocol, the most widely accepted international agreement on fighting human trafficking, and 2) promoting immediate state action by repurposing existing international legal provisions on marriage to enable effective initial domestic responses to this crime while revisions …
The Crisis Of A Definition: Human Trafficking In Bulgarian Law, Vladislava Stoyanova
The Crisis Of A Definition: Human Trafficking In Bulgarian Law, Vladislava Stoyanova
Vladislava Stoyanova
This article develops two arguments. First, at a national level in Bulgaria, the human trafficking framework is inoperable for identifying abuses worthy of consideration. By comparing the Bulgarian criminal law definition of human trafficking with the international law definition, I argue that the national criminal law definition is overly inclusive. This state of the Bulgarian criminal law makes it difficult to undertake a realistic assessment of the problem. Second, I submit that because the focus in Bulgaria has been exclusively directed towards the crime of human trafficking, the fact that the abuses of slavery, servitude and forced labour as such …
The Global Supply Contract Charade: How Corporate Greed Fuels Human Trafficking And Forced Labor, Naomi Jiyoung Bang
The Global Supply Contract Charade: How Corporate Greed Fuels Human Trafficking And Forced Labor, Naomi Jiyoung Bang
Naomi J Bang
ABSTRACT: THE GLOBAL SUPPLY CONTRACT CHARADE
HOW CORPORATE GREED FUELS HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND FORCED LABOR
Human trafficking and forced labor reflect the dark side of globalization, where criminal gangs trade people through international channels via a rapidly growing network of electronic communications and transport. Unfortunately, it is not just the criminal element that is complicit in these activities. Multinational corporations also contribute through their massive global production chains, increasing chances that their products could be made by trafficked workers. Corporations also shift liability for these acts onto their overseas suppliers through “arm’s length” global supply contracts and by pointing to …

Measuring The Success Of Counter Trafficking Interventions In The Criminal Justice Sector: Who Decides - And How?, Anne T. Gallagher Ao, Rebecca Surtees
Anne T Gallagher
Global concern about human trafficking has prompted substantial investment in counter-trafficking interventions. That investment, and the human rights imperatives that underpin counter-trafficking work, demand that interventions demonstrate accountability, results and beneficial impact. How this can happen in practice is complicated and contested. This article, which considers success measurements with respect to criminal justice interventions, seeks to cut through the complexities presented by multiple theories and elaborate methodologies by focusing on one key issue: who decides success, and how? A review of evaluation reports and interviews with practitioners confirm that determinations of success (or failure) will vary according to: (i) who …
Dancing On The Borders Of Article 4. Human Trafficking And The European Court Of Human Rights In The Rantsev Case., Vladislava Stoyanova
Dancing On The Borders Of Article 4. Human Trafficking And The European Court Of Human Rights In The Rantsev Case., Vladislava Stoyanova
Vladislava Stoyanova
This article points to four worrisome aspects of the Court’s reasoning in Rantsev v. Cyprus and Russia. First, the Court takes on board the concept of ‘human trafficking’ without offering any meaningful legal analysis as to the elements of the human trafficking definition. Second, the adoption of the human trafficking framework implicates the ECtHR in anti-immigration and anti-prostitution agenda. The heart of this article is the argument that the human trafficking framework should be discarded and the Court should focus and develop the prohibitions on slavery, servitude and forced labor. To advance this argument I explain the relation between, on …
The Private Sector’S Pivotal Role In Combating Human Trafficking, Jonathan Todres
The Private Sector’S Pivotal Role In Combating Human Trafficking, Jonathan Todres
Jonathan Todres
Human trafficking is big business, with industry estimates running in the billions of dollars annually. Much of that profit accrues to traffickers, illegal profiteers, and organized crime groups. However, the private sector-including legitimate businesses and industries-also reaps economic benefits, directly and indirectly, from the trafficking and related exploitation of persons. Despite these economic realities, the dominant approach to combating human trafficking has been to rely almost exclusively on governments and social services organizations to do the job. Little has been asked of the private sector. Two important bills-one adopted by the State of California and the otherintroduced in the U.S. …
Assessing Public Health Strategies For Advancing Child Protection: Human Trafficking As A Case Study, Jonathan Todres
Assessing Public Health Strategies For Advancing Child Protection: Human Trafficking As A Case Study, Jonathan Todres
Jonathan Todres
Ensuring the well-being of all children is one of the great challenges of our time. Despite concerted efforts in the United States to protect children, research reveals that millions of children suffer harm each year. Frequently, when policymakers and child advocates speak of “child protection,” they focus primarily on abuse and neglect in the home. Often, child protection does not contemplate violence against children in the community. The inside/outside-the-home divide is somewhat of a false dichotomy, however, as the two realms are interrelated. Children who suffer abuse and neglect in the home are frequently at heightened risk of exploitation outside …
