International and legal aspects of combating human trafficking

Abstract

One of the most current issues of human trafficking are peculiarities of the regulation of human trafficking in the foreign legislation. In the article the right bases of a number of the foreign states, directed to the combat of human trafficking on the international and legal arena and assistance of human trafficking and contemporary forms of slavery are considered. The basic requirement in this direction is that the criminal law in many countries related to human trafficking cannot be directly entered the right system of another country due to the fact that «the customs of each country are different». Despite the existence of various conventions and a
special body (the department for combating human trafficking of the International Organization for Migration) on human trafficking, the existence of separate norms in the criminal codes of states, this phenomenon has caused worldwide concern. The authors note that the need to take and systematize practical steps to prevent human trafficking and their victims, in relation to criminals, systematization of information on the scale of crimes and review of penalties and the system of punishments. The authors concluded that the data relating to human trafficking are intended for use only for statistical purposes and should be strictly limited for external stakeholders. Also, international cooperation in the fight against human trafficking requires further strengthening. The study of the criminal law experience of foreign countries is necessary for understanding the essence and mechanism of the operation of such norms and, possibly, the creation of analogues that meet the requirements of our legislation.
