Country to country, person to person, human trafficking is becoming a growing problem all over the world, including right here in the United States. United. Human trafficking is considered a form of modern slavery, subjecting its victims to the sex trade, debt bondage and forced labor through force, fraud or coercion. There are often no easily identifiable victims because they are of all ages, genders and races. It is estimated that there are at least 2.4 million victims of human trafficking worldwide at any given time, generating profits of $32 billion for the criminal masterminds behind these trafficking operations, which in fact the second most lucrative criminal industry behind narcotics. Despite the abundance of victims, it is estimated that less than 30% of all countries report at least 10 trafficking convictions per year, and 20% of countries do not even have a trafficking offense. Additionally, 20% of countries have a trafficking offense but still report no convictions for this offense. Without an organized coalition to help prevent such atrocities, it is up to national governments to find solutions for their respective countries, and many governments do not have the know-how or effort to combat these crimes. However, all hope is lost. not lost and progress has been made in the prosecution of human trafficking cases. In 2000, the United States passed the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (hereinafter referred to as TVPA) which was drafted with the aim of providing protection to individuals who are in the country illegally and who may be victims of human trafficking. In order to obtain relief under the “TVPA,” victims must prove they were trafficked and submit to prosecution for human trafficking. The lack of a definition of human trafficking in the Rome Statutes makes it extremely difficult to include the various complexities of human trafficking. Analysis of the cases shows that human trafficking cases must meet the elements required to classify them as crimes against humanity and thus place them under the jurisdiction of the ICC. However, this makes it even more important to address the problem of the lack of a definition of human trafficking. To address this issue, the ICC must adopt a separate provision for human trafficking and adopt one of the definitions of human trafficking already in force. used via TVPS or the Palermo protocol. A verifiable and broad definition of human trafficking would help bring such atrocities to the ICC and give real meaning to the slavery provision of the Rome Statute..
