Human traffickers

Human traffickers recruit, transport, transfer, harbour or receive persons by means of threat or force. Human trafficking often includes the use of different forms of coercion, abduction, fraud, deception and the abuse of power for the purpose of exploitation. It is understood as a violation of human rights as it takes place without the consent of the concerned individual. Trafficking can include sexual exploitation, forced labour and slavery, or the removal of organs of men, women and children. Victims can be trafficked within a country or across borders. Although trafficking is to be distinguished from human smuggling, some overlap may occur. For example, human smuggling can turn into trafficking in cases of debt bondage or sexual exploitation after the arrival at an agreed destination.

Human trafficking trends in Ukraine

Authors Oleksii POZNIAK
Description
Ukraine’s involvement in global migration processes after the fall of the Iron Curtain and dissolution of the Soviet Union has been a simple fact. But one of the negative consequences of the outward labor migration of Ukrainian nationals has been that human trafficking emerged and became increasingly frequent. In the 1990s and the early 2000s, Ukraine was a country of origin and to some extent a country of transit for persons who found themselves in the situation of slavery. Over recent years Ukraine has increasingly become a country of destination for human-trafficking victims, while cases of domestic trafficking within Ukraine are also widespread.

Human trafficking in Moldova

Authors Vladimir GANTA
Description
Since Moldova declared its independence in 1992 and people gained the right to travel freely abroad, illegal migration and human trafficking became an important problem for the Government and its international partners. After the war against Russia, in Transnistria (1992) the Government lost control over the most industrialized part of the country and almost all the eastern border. Constant fights between prowestern and pro-russian parties, corruption created an environment where officials could use their positions to make fortunes by protecting organized crime. Poverty and lack of employment opportunities in Moldova made people desperately search for solutions in other countries. In this environment, many desperate people became victims of criminals (often protected by officials) who made fortunes by selling other humans for sex, begging, labour.

The problem of human trafficking in Azerbaijan

Authors Arif YUNUSOV
Description
The problem of human trafficking plays a significant role in migration flows from Azerbaijan. It was first addressed at the beginning of the early 1990s. The mass unemployment that followed the collapse of the USSR and the Karabakh conflict with Armenia led to the emergence of informal “slave markets” in the centre of the capital city, Baku, in the mid-1990s (in Azeri “gyl bazari”). These were gathering places for unemployed men, mostly refugees and internally displaced persons, who were prepared to take up any jobs, including jobs that involved forms of enslavement. At that time, a number of publications appeared in the national media documenting the trafficking of men, as well as women and children, from Azerbaijan, for the purposes of forced labour and enslavement (Yunusov, 194). However, such occurrences were perceived as an inevitable consequence of the unresolved Karabakh conflict and of “temporary” economic and social turmoil. Most importantly, these were of episodic character and so, did not attract much attention.

De mens beschermd en de handel bestreden - een advies over een evenwichtig beschermingsregime voor slachtoffers van mensenhandel

Authors Adviescommissie voor Vreemdelingenzaken (ACVZ)
Description
Mensenhandel is een misdrijf en een schending van de mensenrechten. Er is sprake van mensenhandel als iemand door middel van dwang, misleiding of misbruik in een uitbuitingssituatie wordt gebracht of gehouden. Mensenhandel is zowel een strafrechtelijk als vreemdelingrechtelijk thema. Dat laatste omdat veel slachtoffers geen Nederlander zijn. In dit advies worden beide rechtsgebieden in onderlinge samenhang bezien. De primaire focus van de ACVZ is, gelet op haar expertise, gericht op de vreemdelingrechtelijke aspecten van mensenhandel. De huidige regeling voor slachtoffers van mensenhandel Op grond van de huidige ‘B9-regeling’ – genoemd naar het hoofdstuk in de Vreemdelingencirculaire 2000 (Vc 2000) –krijgen vreemdelingen bij de ‘geringste aanwijzing’ dat zij slachtoffer van mensenhandel zijn, een bedenktijd van maximaal drie maanden om in rust te overwegen of zij willen meewerken aan de strafrechtelijke opsporing en vervolging van de verdachte(n). Medewerking met politie en Openbaar Ministerie (OM) is een voorwaarde om een B9-vergunning te krijgen. Die vergunning geeft recht op verblijf gedurende het strafrechtelijk onderzoek naar de verdachte(n). Voortgezet verblijf wordt toegestaan als de medewerking van het slachtoffer tot een veroordeling van de verdachte(n) heeft geleid, het slachtoffer op het moment van de rechterlijke uitspraak drie jaar rechtmatig in Nederland verblijft op grond van een B9-vergunning, of de strafzaak na drie jaar nog loopt.
