Special attention within the article is paid to the research of the activities of Europol and Eurojust – the EU institutions, which play an important role in establishing international cooperation in the fight against human trafficking. As a result, the author has noted that the problem of human trafficking within the EU is paid much attention. At the EU level serious efforts exerted to combat the sources of this problem. Any manifestations of human trafficking are considered by all EU institutions as one of the most serious human rights violations, and the states should make joint efforts to combat this phenomenon. A characteristic feature of the EU policy on combating human trafficking is that the main attention of this integration association focuses primarily on ensuring human rights – the victims of this phenomenon, on creating the conditions for their reintegration and socialization, and this, in turn, will improve the situation to bring to justice those responsible. This approach should serve as a model for legislative activities in combating human trafficking in Ukraine.Исследованы особенности деятельности ЕС в борьбе с торговлей людьми; осуществлён анализ международных документов ЕС в указанной сфере.
