Fundamental Legal Treatment of Trafficking in Women on a Lebanese and International Level

This research paper focuses on the role of international legislation in combatting the crime of women trafficking and reducing its effects. The article provides an in-depth examination of the situation in Lebanon given its significant records of human trafficking. The author conducts this by outlining the various forms and facilitations of women trafficking and suggesting solutions for Lebanese legislation that would also be compatible with international legislation. Some of these suggestions include developing an effective national system capable of investigating the crime, enacting regulations to compensate for damages suffered by victims, implementing victim protection programs, enhancing international cooperation to unify efforts to combat women trafficking, and encouraging Member States of the United Nations to submit annual reports outlining the efforts and actions taken to address human trafficking.
