International Workshop on Supranational Responses to Human Trafficking
It is evident that human trafficking has a substantial and detrimental impact on its victims’ life and health and further constitutes a grave violation of their fundamental human rights. It is a crime that occurs in grand scales in all countries across the globe, both in peacetime and during armed conflict. It is widely acknowledged that establishing criminal responsibility for this crime presents significant challenges for national and international law enforcement agencies. This is largely due to the high complexity of the crime and its clandestine nature, the connection with networks of transnational organised crime, and the new challenges with the evolving digital dimension of human trafficking.
The objective of the workshop is to identify and explore the challenges, legal foundations, and monitoring and detection methods as well as possible ways to increase and strengthen prosecutions - to further enhance and progress the combat against of human trafficking. The workshop will bring together expertise of public international law, European law and human rights. The programme will include general presentations on topics related to human trafficking and a broad range of possible supranational responses to it, both legal in nature and of other disciplines. The objective of this event is further to facilitate discussions among professionals and create a network of specialized scholars within the field for possible future collaborations.
