Određenje trgovine ljudima u međunarodnom i uporednom pravu

For a long time international law and national legislature, did not have a unique and all-inclusive approach to defining trafficking in human beings. With the adoption of the UN Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime and its two supplementing Protocols, one against Trafficking in Persons and the other against Smuggling of Migrants, this occurrence was precisely defined, and the specified definitions and concepts have become a standard for the revision and amendment of the national criminal laws in many countries, ours included. In this paper, the author strives to give a short review of defining the concepts of human trafficking in applicable international legal acts, the laws of certain countries and domestic laws and indicates their conceivable shortcomings.Međunarodno pravo i nacionalna zakonodavstva dugo nisu imala jedinstven i sveobuhvatan pristup u definisanju trgovine ljudima. Donošenjem Konvencije Ujedinjenih nacija protiv transnacionalnog organizovanog kriminala i njegovih dopunskih Protokola o sprečavanju trgovine ljudskim bićima i sprečavanju krijumčarenja migranata, ovaj bezbednosni problem je precizno definisan, a navedene definicije i shvatanja postali su standard za izmenu i dopunu nacionalnih krivičnih zakonodavstava mnogih zemalja, između ostalog i naše. U radu je prikazan kratak osvrt na određenje trgovine ljudima u relevantnim međunarodnim pravnim aktima, zakonskim rešenjima nekih zemalja i domaćem krivičnom zakonodavstvu, i ukazano je na njihove eventualne nedostatke
