Exploitation of victims of trafficking in human beings in the context of the armed conflict
Keywords:
trafficking in human beings, conflict, victims, exploitationAbstract
The areas where armed conflicts are taking place and have been perpetrated by state or non-state actors involved in conflicts, represent a suitable place for emergence of phenomenon of human trafficking. The exploitation of victims of trafficking in human beings in the context of the armed conflicts can take various forms, so that for the purposes of our research, this category of victims will be classified into two groups: victims of armed activities and victims of non-armed activities. Hence, the first group includes victims that take directly participation in armed combat activities or other activities during combat operations such as minefield cleaning, transport and medical services, etc. The second group includes victims of sexual exploitation in area of conflict and their forms, forced labor in different sector and trafficking in organs.
