Diplomatic solutions on human trafficking

Diplomatic solutions on human trafficking

Introduction

Human trafficking can be referred to as an organized international crime with the aim of using a human being for the purposes of making the profit. This kind of crime leads to destructions of lives where many of them are children whose dignity and right to freedom are robbed. The victims of human trafficking are people from a poor background who are exploited by traffickers by means of deception and force. The exploitation and transportation of these vulnerable people that is, men, women, and children by this organized group of criminal should not be tolerated by any civilized nation in the world (Goodman, 2015). Thus, the aim of this essay is to discuss whether the diplomatic solutions of human trafficking are enough to affect change. Thesis statement should have 3 main argumentative points

International action to stop trafficking happening in the first place “is this a subtitle?” if yes then it should be bolded

Trafficking is a global problem and this crime happens to our (academic writing does not allow use of first person pronouns unless it is creative writing) people and still within our communities. The government, law enforcers and diplomats cannot alone eliminate human trafficking. Various international laws have been instituted to combat this heinous crime but this is not enough since some of the diplomats are the main culprits in this business. The UN protocols which are against trafficking have been set forward and various governments have signed into this. This provides a working definition concerning human trafficking and a basis which is common to criminalize the acts of trafficking persons like women and children (Davy, 2016). The Diplomats involved should be brought to public and be strongly shamed and be prosecuted until the illegal business collapse.

These protocols and regulations are not enough to effect change. Thus, private business worldwide has a role to play. This is because these traffickers exploit businesses which are legitimate in order to run they are own business and private sectors are used in this. These businesses should make it hard for the traffickers to exploit the victims and voice the risk of this business to the known human traffickers. Thus as the united nation is taking actions to stop this business, this is not enough unless it’s a shared responsibility.

Document Confiscation and Abuse of the Legal Process in the supply chain

Human trafficking is not only done through migration but these traffickers exploit the vulnerable migrants who take the risk to find work (Farrell, 2018). The individual leaves their home to find a job or work in order to be freed from poverty, criminal violence, natural disaster or unemployment. Language barriers, cultural isolations, and financial burdens make them vulnerable in the countries of their immigration.

Unknowingly the victims pay smuggler in order to cross another nation in search of work but find exploitative circumstances similar to the former awaiting them(Davy, 2016). Thus documentation and highlight of these very essentials are not enough, this will work only if the report is released to the public.

|”This part should start after the line above if not a new paragraph” Pressure application should be used as a tool to force countries accelerating human trafficking to change. Those who carry out this crime should be ashamed and those against it should be praised in fighting to eliminate the problem (Farrell, 2018). Foreign assistance should be conditioned on their part of the effectiveness of various countries efforts in the protection of the victims and traffickers punished.

All titles to be bolded Improved victim identification and care

The victims of trafficking are very hard to reach since they are hidden away, exploited, deceived and still frightened. The victims not only need to be identified in a formal way by the organizations against the act but also to be tailored according to their needs and bring the abusers into justice. The reauthorization that was recently made by the US on the trafficking victim protection Act in eradicating the evil practice is not enough unless the law is implemented properly and the law enforcers are given the necessary tools to enforce it. Also, victim identification isn’t enough to affect change but requires also anti-human-trafficking bills to be strengthened worldwide which is simple but meaningful. Strengthening prevention and reducing demand will be a great move to combat human trafficking, not just identification.

In conclusion, the ultimate objective and goal must be to protect and prevent those victims likely to fall as prey on the hands of traffickers and also punishing those involved. This will not only involve diplomats but teamwork and cohesiveness. Awareness should be raised to educate people to stop it .All the stakeholders that is, the governments, businesses, and also individuals have a real opportunity to effect change to stop human trafficking.
