Title
EUROPEAN AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS IN THE FIELD OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING
Abstract
Trafficking in human beings is a phenomenon which from time immemorial the international community has had to face through the arrangement of legal instruments for its prevention and suppression. Te first international Conventions that faced the problem date back to the early 1900s although, at the time, trafficking in human beings was better known as “white slave trade” and concerned a phenomenon smaller than today. In fact, today’s trafficking in human beings has boundaries wider than in the past, not only in terms of quantity but also in terms of quality of the organized criminal groups who are engaged in human trafficking. Qualified as a crime against humanity by the Rome Statute of July 1998 establishing the International Criminal Court, which in its Art. 7 includes enslavement as a crime against humanity prohibited by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of December 10, 1948, today trafficking in human beings is also expressly prohibited by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union which in its Art. 5 provides that “no one shall be held in slavery or servitude; no one shall be required to perform forced or compulsory labour; trafficking in human beings is prohibited”.
Autorka se u radu bavi veoma aktuelnom problemati-kom trgovine ljudima, sa aspekta pravnih akata i normi koje regu-lišu ovu oblast na globalnom nivou. Rad predstavlja presek stanja u oblasti i pokušaj prikazivanja razvijenih pravnih standarda kroz analizu postojećih Konvencija, Statuta i drugih akata određenih organizacija. U analizi koju sprovodi, autorka se najviše fokusira na prikaz Varšavske Konvencije iz 2005, ukazujući na prednosti i mane tretiranja ove materije. Ovaj rad predstavlja pokušaj da se prikažu standardi koji su bez sumnje razvijeni posebno u ovoj oblasti u kojoj postoji interes velikog broja značajnih evropskih zemalja, ali i interesi malih i nerazvijenih zemalja iz kojih se ljudi krijumčare. Autorka ukazuje i na probleme iregularnih migra-cija i delom načine regulisanja ove oblasti u svetlu prikazivanja standarda i u ovoj oblasti, ali se celokupan rad svodi na trasiranje standarda u oblasti trgovine ljudima.
