| Title | PREVENTION AND COMBATING OF CHILD TRAFFICKING IN HUNGARY AND IN THE NETHERLANDS IN LIGHT OF THE INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS |
| Summary | The thesis focuses on the phenomenon of child trafficking in Hungary and in the Netherlands. Hungary is primarily a source and a transit country of trafficking in human beings whereas the most common purpose of such crimes is the sexual exploitation of the victims. Combat against child trafficking has three main pillars: prevention, prosecution and victim assistance. In my thesis I will slightly touch the topic of prosecution and briefly summarize the relevant national legislation – to that extent which is necessary to understand the paper. The focus rather will be on the assistance of child victims, their needs and rights and the preventive measures will be discussed only when it is connected to them. The first chapter deals with the general legal framework of child trafficking in Hungary and in the Netherlands. Within the framework of the relevant international and European regulations I will pinpoints the provisions related to victim’s assistance and prevention. I will conclude the chapter with the national legislation of child trafficking. In the second chapter I will look at the promotion and protection of the rights of child victims of trafficking in Hungary and in the Netherlands. These children need special care and attention as well as are entitled to have justice and fully participate in the criminal procedures. Despite the special needs these victims are still children; their best interests should prevail throughout the proceedings and enjoy all the rights reserved for children. |
