One of key areas related to sexual violence in conflict, including human trafficking for sexual exploitation, includes the legal avenues to address these crimes. National and international lawyers are confronted with substantive and procedural legal issues to best investigate, prosecute and adjudicate such crimes. Patricia Viseur Sellers discusses from extensive and first-hand legal experience how she perceives both crimes and how she thinks they can best be addressed; e.g. by including the crime of the slave trade and removing the crime of sexual slavery.

More about this publication?
  • The Journal of Trafficking and Human Exploitation (JHTE) serves as a forum to discuss and debate the legal and policy issues involving prevention, intervention, investigations, prosecution, individual, state and corporate responsibility, and the actual codified offenses, their application in practice, subsequent judicial interpretation and any ramifications emanating therefrom. As the mass perpetration of trafficking and human exploitation only appears to continue, the need to research, understand and clarify these laws and their use in practice is paramount.

    The JTHE is primarily concerned with publishing high quality legal articles and significant case notes from domestic, regional and international jurisdictions. However, this journal will also consider interdisciplinary submissions and book reviews.
