Rethinking trafficking in human beings - towards International Coalition of Academics Against Trafficking in Human Beings (Trace)

Author in this paper deals with the possibilities of setting up the informal network of experts gathered in International Coalition of Academics against Trafficking in Human Beings (TRACE). TRACE will examine legal avenues for global extension of human rights approach (victim centered). This may require elaboration of a new universal legally binding instrument similar to those that were adopted for other international crimes and that are comprehensive in nature (e.g. United Nations Convention against Corruption), and/or further promotion of regional instruments that are open for accession to third parties (e.g. Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings). In addition, TRACE contribution could be in developing of universal model of standard operating procedures for victim identification similar to guidelines that apply in cases of torture and other inhumane and degrading treatment (Manual on Effective Investigation and Documentation of Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, 1999, also known as Istanbul Protocol). Building global academic consensus on these issues that has been established in other fields (for instance death penalty – International Academic Network for the Abolition of Capital Punishment) would have practical implications on policy makers in the area of anti-trafficking. Expected outcome of this initiative is positive impact on preventing push and pull factors that lead to trafficking in human beings.
