HIDDEN AGENDAS? The risks of human trafficking legislation

Key Points

The aim is to assess the implications of developing new human trafficking legislation in South Africa.
Examining South Africa's commitment to the United Nations Protocol on Trafficking in Persons
Analyzing existing legal frameworks related to trafficking offenses
Identifying gaps in understanding the extent of the trafficking problem
The extent of human trafficking in South Africa remains unclear
Current laws already address offences related to trafficking
Careful legislation drafting is crucial to prevent unintended legal consequences

Abstract

South Africa is a signatory to the United Nations Protocol on Trafficking in Persons, and is likely to draft legislation on the topic soon. But the extent of the problem in South Africa is unclear, and the offences involved in trafficking are punishable under current law. To avoid unintended consequences, care is needed in drafting a new law in this area.
