السياسة العقابية للمشرع الجزائري في جريمة الاتجار بالأشخاص

Abstract EN

The crime of trafficking in persons constitutes a blatant threat to human rights and freedoms.

It is a global phenomenon that does not stop at any geographical, political or religious borders.

It was produced by the globalization movement and its results are shared by the whole world as a form of organized crime.

It topped the attention of the international community, and the United Nations ranked it as the third largest illegal international trade after arms and drug trafficking, which led to the conclusion of multiple international agreements that prevent and punish trafficking in persons, the most important of which was the Palermo Protocol completing the Transnational Organized Crime Convention.

This crime is committed against vulnerable groups of society, including children and women.

In view of the seriousness of its effects, the countries ratifying the Protocol, including Algeria, adopted a punitive policy in line with the content of its provisions.

The legislator stressed punishment to deter perpetrators and protect victims of trafficking.

It also provided for a system of exemption from punishment to encourage the detection and reporting of the authors of the crime.
