| Title | Can Human Rights Law Adequately Protect Victims of Human Trafficking? An Analysis of German Anti-Trafficking Laws |
| Summary | Human trafficking is a phenomenon that has been highly contested in the international community. It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of individuals are trafficked every year with sex trafficking continuing to be the predominant form of trafficking. The development of the UN’s Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons Especially Women and Children in 2000 gave the international community its first definition of human trafficking that was rooted in a human rights approach with victims at its center to trafficking utilizing the 3 Ps paradigm in combating it. This paper explores to what extent the measures that are set up by the Palermo Protocol to protect victims provides adequation protection of them? Does Germany’s implementation of the human rights approach support or detract from protection efforts of victims? A study of Germany’s anti-trafficking polices, institutions, and implementation of the polices will illuminate problems within the structure of Germany that makes it more difficult for adequate protection of victims, yet they are still deemed a tier 1 country by the U.S. ‘s Annual Report in Trafficking of Persons. Based on government documents, anti-trafficking evaluations performed by international organizations, and interviews of victims and service providers online will facilitate in answering what is needed for the adequate protection of victims, and how a human rights approach is the best way to combat sex trafficking for all women regardless of the identities they hold. |
