Human trafficking remains an unresolved worldwide problem because of the weak rule of law in countries where it flourishes. Due to cultural issues and economic incentives, trafficking in forced labor and for sexual exploitation is commonplace in the Middle East and Africa although it also exists to a lesser degree in other geographic regions.
Ratification of, or accession to, the U.N. Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children (PDF file), is a step in the right direction made by more than 110 countries. However, efforts by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) to implement the protocol has yielded mixed results to date.
Where countries have weak governments, corrupt law enforcement or judiciary, civil wars that need conscripts, or totalitarian regimes that profit from the sale of human beings, the presence or absence of anti-trafficking laws means little. Laws that exist simply are not enforced.
Developed countries that permit their citizens to pay for sex tourism in developing countries without penalty provide economic incentives for trafficking to continue.
For the rule of law to successfully combat human trafficking, global and regional efforts to fund efforts against traffickers will be necessary.
