Legal Framework for Combating Human Trafficking

Author(s) Ms. PRERNA PRERNA, Dr. Gargi Bhadoria
Country India
Abstract A strong legal reaction is required both domestically and internationally to combat human trafficking, a serious violation of human rights that affects people all over the world. International agreements like the United Nations Protocol to Prevent, Suppress, and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children (Palermo Protocol, 2000) serve as the foundation for the legal framework aimed at preventing human trafficking. This protocol stresses victim protection, promotes international collaboration, and offers a thorough definition of human trafficking. This is complemented by a number of other conventions and the active participation of global institutions including as INTERPOL and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, which are essential for capacity building and coordination.
India has established a complex legal system at the national level that includes provisions from the Indian Penal Code (Sections 370 and 371), specific laws such as the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956 (ITPA), and constitutional provisions. Child protection is further strengthened by special legislation such as the Juvenile Justice Act of 2015 and the POCSO Act of 2012. The Supreme Court and High Courts in particular have played a crucial role in interpreting these statutes and guaranteeing victim-centric justice through their judicial interventions. Cross-border collaboration is still essential, particularly in areas where transnational criminal networks operate, such as the Thailand-Myanmar trafficking corridor. Despite legislative prohibitions, the efficacy of anti-trafficking efforts is frequently compromised by corruption and enforcement loopholes. A more efficient and compassionate legal strategy to combat human trafficking requires bolstering court reaction, improving victim protection, and encouraging international cooperation.
