Abstract

This chapter forms the substantive section on the historical genesis of the crime of trafficking in persons under international law. The chapter intends to provide the reader with a historical understanding of the stages and phases that took place and which finally resulted in the international community adopting the current TIP Protocol 2000 which provides the most widely accepted definition of what amounts to trafficking in persons. The chapter defines the crime of human trafficking and analyses its constituent three elements of the action, means and purpose elements and points out its implications for the states parties to the TIP Protocol 2000 and the Organised Crime Convention 2000. The chapter examines almost all the individual constitutive components of the action, means and purpose elements. This analysis serves to lay a foundation for examining the criminalisation provisions of the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act 2008 in Chap. 7. It also helps to gauge Tanzania’s compliance or implementation of its international and domestic anti-trafficking obligations assumed under the TIP Protocol 2000 in so far as the obligation to criminalise the crime of trafficking in persons is concerned.

    Report A/50/369, para 17: “Trafficking across international borders is by definition illegal. The very nature of undocumented status makes illegal migrants vulnerable to various forms of exploitation. The question must be asked, however, whether trafficking is the same as illegal migration. It would seem that the two are related, but different. Migration across frontiers without documentation does not have to be coerced or exploitative. At the same time, persons can be trafficked with their consent. A distinction could be made in terms of the purpose for which borders are crossed and whether movement occurs through the instrumentality of another person. Under this distinction, trafficking of women and girls would be defined in terms of “the end goal of forcing women and girl children into sexually or economically oppressive and exploitative situations” and the fact that it is done “for the profit of recruiters, traffickers and crime syndicates”.

    “What is encompassed within the concept of trafficking and the exploitation of the prostitution of others is set out in Articles 1 and 2 of the 1949 Convention for the Suppression of the traffic in Persons and of the Exploitation of the Prostitution of Others. The Convention refers to actions both national and international, indicating that the phenomenon must be seen at both levels. The concern of the United Nations is primarily at the international level, but there are clear links with national action. It should be noted, however, that since 1949 the concept of trafficking has been extended to include trafficking for the purpose of other forms of exploitation of women…. This wider view of trafficking and exploitation is reflected in the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, which also includes forced marriages and forced labour within the concept, and it is the wider view that is used in the present report”, paras 4–5.

    European Commission 1996. The Communication defined also trafficking as “The transport of women from third countries into the European Union (including perhaps subsequent movements between Member States) for the purpose of sexual exploitation…. Trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation covers women who have suffered intimidation and/or violence through the trafficking. Initial consent may not be relevant, as some enter the trafficking chain knowing they will work as prostitutes, but who are then deprived of their basic human rights, in conditions which are akin to slavery”, para 4.

Regarding the involvement of legal persons such as business corporations in trafficking in persons, whether directly or indirectly, Muskat-Gorska notes that “the fact that 90% of forced labour cases are estimated to take place in the private sector… calls for urgent attention to the legal accountability of business actors involved in abuses or benefiting from labour or services provided by trafficked persons, including through their supply chains”, Muskat-Gorska 2017, p. 443.

    “Unlawful purpose” is defined by the Inter-American Convention under Article 2(c) to mean: “Prostitution, sexual exploitation, servitude or any other purpose unlawful in either the State of the minor’s habitual residence or the State Party where the minor is located”.

  86. 86.

    The Convention defined “unlawful means” under Article 2(d) as: “Kidnapping, fraudulent or coerced consent, the giving or receipt of unlawful payments or benefits to achieve the consent of the parents, persons or institutions having care of the child, or any other means unlawful in either the State of the minor’s habitual residence or the State Party where the minor is located”.

Unconvincing, however, is the argument advanced by Di Nicola that the definition of trafficking requires the presence of four elements, namely: (a) recruitment; (b) movement/receipt; (c) deception, abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability; and (d) purpose of exploitation because recruitment and movement are clearly one and part of the same action element, see Di Nicola 2007, p. 51.

    Van der Wilt 2014, pp. 305–306; Piotrowicz 2012, p. 185. Pocar posits that the way trafficking in persons results into exploitation and control of one person by another, it also can be subsumed in the Rome Statute’s catch-all provision of Article 7(1)(k) of “other inhuman acts of a similar character intentionally causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or to mental or physical health”, Pocar 2007, pp. 7–8. While this approach is plausible, nevertheless, it must be shown that all the elements of the crimes against humanity have been fulfilled, including the policy element. A similar approach of reasoning is taken by Obokata when he argues that the crime of trafficking can be argued from the Rome Statute’s crimes against humanity of torture, forced transfer of population and deportation, see Obokata 2006, pp. 124–127. Seeing the limitation and difficulty of including or prosecuting the crime of trafficking in persons as a crime against humanity, Moran proposes for the use of the “threshold requirements of the crime of genocide as a theoretical model” to criminalise and prosecute trafficking as an independent “core crime” under the Rome Statute because the “brutality which occurs when human beings are trafficked for the purposes of sexual exploitation by criminal gangs is of an equally egregious nature” as those crimes listed under article 5 of the Rome Statute, Moran 2014, pp. 33–34, 40 et seq. It seems, however, the approach Moran uses, especially on the establishment of the contextual element of the specific or special intent of the crime of genocide which in the Rome Statute must be established to elevate genocide to international law’s core crimes, is somehow unconvincing when the requirement of the profit to traffickers is added.

    Another reason for not considering trafficking in persons, in addition to the requirements of the Rome Statute is noted by Hauck who argues that: “Although trafficking in persons appears to be punishable, the reasons for its international disregard are obvious: while the misconduct can be defined clearly in line with Article 3 of the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress, and Punish Trafficking in Persons, and while many countries provide for this offence in their domestic jurisdictions, a general and uniform international state practice cannot be detected”, Hauck 2016, p. 464.
