Hie close of the past century has witnessed an increasing growth and a new form of slavery called human trafficking.

Despite cultural and technological advances made in the present ccntury, the crime of human trafficking is considered one of the most dangerous behavioral crimes against mankind, which is a great indication of the degradation of some moral and human values.

♦ Human trafficking with children, women and men is a form of organized crime and is directly related to the criminal activities of gangs and criminal networks.

This form of crime is also considered one of the most dangerous problems that threaten human security in various regions of the world.

Human Trafficking falls under the category of international sex trade, which offers sex tourist services like prostitution, forced labor and slavery.

This problem has grown at an accelerating rate, which calls for an international cooperation to deal with it.

However, the difficulty in dealing with this crimes lies in the lack of a real and accurate statistics which is usually replaced by statistical figures drawn from the International Organization for Immigration that do not really show the huge scale of this crime.

What further aggravates the problem is that most countries do not keep statistical records on the crime, except for those records that address cases of criminal justice, and that activities of human trafficking are conducted in a very secretive manner and are usually given legal covers and names.

Nowadays human trafficking is blooming in civilized Europe with millions of dollars as profit for those who are involved.

It is rated as number three after drug trafficking and arms trafficking and is seen as one of the biggest sources of profit for gang members of organized crime all over the world.

According to the European International Security and Cooperation, there are more than one million children and women who are being trafficked in the world.

In addition, the statistical figures of the various international bodies show that we are witnessing a human disaster that has aggravated over the past few years because of poverty, starvation, wars, conflicts and natural and human disasters.
