The protection of trafficked persons in the draft bill of the comprehensive Organic Law Against Trafficking and Exploitation of Human Beings: The case of children and asylum seekers

Abstract

The Draft Bill of the Comprehensive Organic Law against Trafficking and Exploitation of Human Beings presents us a hopeful perspective. However, the fact that it is the first comprehensive law in this area poses a great challenge. In this article we analyse the lights and shadows of the draft bill’s identification and protection system. We focus on its integration with the asylum system and the child protection system. We anticipate, as far as possible, the potential consequences of its implementation in practice.
