LAW 6507 - Intra:Human Trafficking

Institution:

University of Dayton

Subject:

Law

Description:

Human Trafficking is an international as well as a national problem. In this course, we will look at the United Nations protocol asking member states to address the problem with national legislation. We will then examine the United States' response to this protocol, the Trafficking Victims' Protection Act, and examine the reasons that this U.S. legislation has not been as successful as was hoped. This topic will provide an opportunity for students to: be introduced to international human rights law; carefully read and consider an international treaty to which the United States is a party; carefully read and apply a complex U.S. statute drafted in response to the United States obligations under that treaty; critique that same statute given the limited results of the legislation; consider alternative means for addressing a national and international problem; apply what they have learned to a hypothetical case.
