Abstract:
This mini-dissertation looks at human trafficking in non-international armed conflicts and evaluates whether or not the law of non-international armed conflicts sufficiently prohibits and deals with human trafficking to bring more attention to the common crime in non-international armed conflicts. From the broad view, it seems as though human trafficking is neglected by the law of non-international armed conflicts in non-international armed conflicts.
This mini-dissertation therefore looks closer in to the law of non-international armed conflict to identify, explain and evaluate the relevant provisions of the law of non-international armed conflict in order to draw a conclusion on whether or not human trafficking is indeed neglected by the law regulating non-international armed conflicts or not, offer criticism and make suggestions on improving the laws. In order to be in a position to draw a conclusion, offer criticism and make suggestions, the drafting history of the provisions, the textual interpretation, relevant case law and scholarly opinion will be looked at.
