  • "Trafficking in persons" covers various forms of exploitation including, in the words of the international Palermo protocol, "sexual exploitation, forced labour or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs".
  • A large part of the problem in the wealthier Arab countries is the extensive use of foreign labour
  • ccfuentez on 22 Feb 16
     
    In Saudi Arabia if workers file a complaint against their employers about abuse they are usually returned to their employers or pressured to drop the charges. Typically, the employers will file a false counter-argument against the workers for theft, witchcraft, and adultery in retaliation. This country is also accused of failing to take action to reduce the demand of prostitution or child sex tourism.

human trafficking slavery guest workers criminal behavior international criminal law

shared by ccfuentez on 22 Feb 16 - No Cached
  • From a legal perspective “slavery” is categorized under criminal behavior. The elements of a criminal act, i.e. intent and knowledge as well as the act, are all applied in its analysis and judgment.
  • If forced labor is defined as modern-day slavery, almost the entire international community would be involved in this crime, especially those countries that invite “guest workers.”
  • ccfuentez on 22 Feb 16
     
    This article compares human trafficking to slavery and gives a stance not typical to my other articles. The author supports the notion of "guest workers" and says if it were known as slavery, then the host country and the respective home country would both be an accomplice to the crime.
