Beyond a Snapshot: Preventing Human Trafficking in the Global EconomyIndiana Journal of Global Legal Studies, 13
[Within a human rights paradigm, trafficking in persons is first and foremost a serious violation of the victims’ human rights; it is a crime against persons. The concept and scope of these human rights violations will be discussed in depth in Chap. 8 in conjunction with states’ obligations according to international law. At an international level the Palermo Protocol is a piece of legislation that addresses multiple facets of trafficking. The stated goal of the Convention is to undertake effective legal action to foster a “comprehensive international approach in the countries of origin, transit and destination that includes measures to prevent such trafficking, to punish the traffickers and to protect the victims of such trafficking.” Corresponding to these objectives, human rights law is relevant to trafficking in persons inasmuch as the victims are holders of inalienable and legally enforceable rights protecting them from abuse. The following sections explore several of the human rights violations that occur during the trafficking process and discusses the related human rights legal framework that should guide the policies adopted by states in response to such trafficking. These include the right not to be held in slavery or servitude, the right to life, the integrity and security of the person, the right to personal autonomy and freedom of movement, the right to be free from cruel or inhuman treatment, the right to equality and non-discrimination, and the right to safe and healthy working conditions.]
