The legal basis for international criminal responsibility for the crime of human trafficking
Abstract
Human trafficking crimes transcend the borders of a single country. It is a problem of an international nature, with repercussions affecting all societies. It affects many countries, known as transit countries, as well as recipient countries. This is due to the disparity in living standards among countries around the world, ranging from the wealthy to the destitute, and to economies fluctuating between poverty and sufficiency. All these conditions, coupled with the lack of social justice, have led to the emergence of human trafficking, exploiting the needs of the poor. The United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, adopted by UN General Assembly Resolution 55/25 in November 2000 in Palermo, Italy, is the primary document for combating this crime. Libya is one of the countries that has recently suffered from the spread and exacerbation of this cross-border crime, which requires concerted international efforts to combat and curb it.
