It was constantly pocking since long, Law, Rules, Trafficking and so on. We go through so many TV serials and many shows, that portrays the criminal acts and human trafficking. But it is difficult to understand that what exactly a normal person requires to do. To be very honest it is difficult to understand the Rule of Law. Being a layman we are not much aware about it. We usually even avoid to read long and difficult to understand articles on this topic. Whereas, it is required to have an idea about Rule of Law and what it is?
Rule
of law: equality before the law; laws that are applied consistently (socially,
economically, and politically); laws that spell out consequences for illegal
activity; laws that serve a conception of order and regulation; laws that serve
and inform institutions of society that preserve order and “fairness.” The
“Rule of Law” is defined in various ways, depending upon the goal sought by the
user of the phrase. This rule of Law is most reliable and only source for the
people to trust on. Various procedures and penalties are levied on various
actions. Part of which various acts and protective actions came into force.
Even with the support of all this it seems tough to have complete control and elimination
over numerous criminal activities, part of which human trafficking has a major
share now a days. Human trafficking refers to the supply of human in the market.
The supply in the
market for human trafficking refers to labour provided by individuals
trafficked for both labour and commercial sexual exploitation. Decreasing
the incidence of human trafficking requires collaboration across professional
fields to discover and handle limited agency. Examples of this include law
enforcement that deals with coercion by traffickers during transportation,
infractions of immigration law, and the use of exploited labour.
The market for
trafficked people involves labour supply decisions by vulnerable populations
(possibly migrants), labour demand decisions by employers, and the intermediary
decisions by human traffickers.
It is like a model
where, considering human trafficking as a monopolistically competitive industry
with many sellers (human traffickers) offering many buyers (employers)
differentiated products (vulnerable individuals) based on price and preferences
of the individual employers.
In general, government
intervention varies—while some countries are creating policies that work for
their cultures, others are lagging behind with no counter-trafficking laws at
all. Government-sponsored Anti-Trafficking Units, which are supposed to
investigate human trafficking cases, continue to be established and more
prosecutions are occurring, the laws are not widely enforced.
Some criminal
justice studies focus on prostitution and illegal immigration (some of which is
trafficked). Sociological research makes legislation more effective for
different countries and situations as it increases the knowledge of cultural
norms and responses.
In
recent years, there has been significant legislation. Law played an important
role in eliminating the trafficking. At the same time, factors like corruption
and lack of training and resources make it difficult to ensure that programs
are effective. Where, this criminal activity had spread its wings under the
ground due to which complete elimination is impossible at this moment.
This
matter has become a cause of concern for all the main countries or can mention
for the economically developing countries. The end goal is to determine which
countries’ bilateral or unilateral approaches are most effective and what
methods the international community should adopt in its global effort to stop
human trafficking. It is required to think on an effective method which
can be a hybrid strategy combining tougher punitive measures for traffickers,
greater protection, rights, and benefits for victims, and better government and
law enforcement cooperation among origin, transit, and receiving countries.
