Human trafficking in the law of the Republic of Serbia in the light of international standards

Abstract

A particularly serious form of violation of human rights, which has recently gained importance in international law, as well as in national criminal law, which puts another person in a subordinate position for the purpose of their exploitation, is human trafficking. On the basis of European international standards, modern criminal law in general, including in the Republic of Serbia, foresees this criminal offense in several forms of manifestation, the perpetrators of which are provided with severe punishments, as well as other criminal sanctions. The paper analyzes all individual forms of manifestation of the criminal offense of human trafficking in the Republic of Serbia from the perspective of legal theory, judicial practice, and norms of positive legislation.
