| Summary: | Trafficking in human beings is a phenomenon of global proportions, which on the one hand violates
basic human rights and on the other hand represents a modern form of slavery. This phenomenon
is influenced by various factors that are directly related to the level of development of the state,
such as the economic situation, poverty, difficult housing conditions, low level of education, sociocultural factors, etc. Trafficking in human beings in Kosovo concerning the number of inhabitants is
considered to be high, despite the measures taken by the justice institutions. In this paper, the main
focus is based on the analysis of the contribution of justice institutions concerning the criminal offense
of trafficking in human beings in Kosovo and the comparability of cases of trafficking during the years
2017-2022. Furthermore, the conclusions of this research emphasize the necessary measures and
policies that should be undertaken by the institutions of justice for the prevention and combating of
this negative phenomenon at the country level. It also includes the importance of international legal
cooperation, public awareness, and protection of victims through institutional channels. Only through
inter-institutional cooperation and the raising of social awareness success can be achieved in the
combat against this phenomenon, namely to protect basic human rights and freedoms. |
