Abstract

Human trafficking represents a modern form of slavery or bondage. This crime, which commodifies humans, handled by professional brokers across national borders, aims at exploiting them for low-wage jobs, sexual activities, or the trade of their organs, exposing them to various forms of deprivation and violations that affect human rights principles. This has prompted the international community to take immediate and concrete steps to curb this criminal phenomenon, which leaves thousands of victims annually, in addition to causing psychological and social harm. Consequently, countries and international organizations, like the United Nations, have rushed to sign numerous international treaties that criminalize and prevent all forms of human trafficking and encouraged providing assistance to the victims in any form. Given the heinous nature and universality of this crime, several countries, including Algeria and Kuwait, have issued legal texts to combat it and penalize anyone involved in human trafficking. This is due to Algeria and Kuwait ratifying and joining many related international agreements and implementing a range of criminal measures aimed at combating organized crime across national borders. However, it is still essential for more interventions and mechanisms related to this criminal phenomenon to protect individuals specifically and to protect the state and its economy in general.
