Criminal Law Aspects of Human Trafficking

The global fight against human trafficking has united numerous countries in promulgating preventive and criminal laws at the inter/national level and adopting a series of strategic guidelines involving civil society to improve protection and provide support to victims. Through legal provisions, the legislations of individual countries try to criminally prosecute not only those who traffic in people in any form but also the »consumers« or customers of these acts. To draw attention to this, the article tries to give an overview of the most relevant legislative acts and regulations for stopping and punishing the criminal offense of human trafficking, by giving a cross-section of basic positions of international documents in the fight against human trafficking, and by citing European documents on the prevention of human trafficking, Croatian legislation in the fight against human trafficking as well as the judicial situation and perspectives.
