In the first part of the paper, the legal framework is examined, primarily international law and then constitutional law. The second part analyzes the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights and the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Serbia. The analysis of courts` decisions was used as a basis for the theoretical formulation of the most important aspects of the prohibition of trafficking in human beings as a category of human rights. Special emphasis was placed on the consideration of the positive obligations of the states undertaken by the ratification of international treaties in the field of human rights and the matter of the fight against human trafficking.

The article deals with the tendency of establishment of human-rights-based gender-specific and child-centred approach to the preventing and combating trafficking in human beings. Comparative analysis of the norms of universal and regional international acts in the field of the combating trafficking in human beings shows that norms on the victims’ protection are primarily dispositive and the features of their implementation are left to national legislators. The role of the national referral mechanisms is emphasized because these mechanisms help to prevent illegal immigrants from posing as trafficking victims. The author hopes that humanizing tendency of contemporary international law on the whole and human-rights-based approach to the combating trafficking in human beings as its part will be growing; and holistic approach will be implemented by all countries in order to make the fight against human trafficking effective.

It has been established that currently there is no research on new challenges in combating human trafficking in Ukraine. Empirical analysis of new challenges in combating trafficking in human beings in Ukraine was carried out through the implementation of a polygon study and interpretation of the results. The obtained data outline new challenges in the problem of combating human trafficking in Ukraine, such as: use for selfish purposes, forced donation, trade in biological/genetic material, reproductive programs/surrogacy. The results suggest that the new challenges in combating human trafficking in Ukraine are a real platform for transnational crime. It was stated that such circumstances require strengthening of international cooperation in combating transnational human trafficking, legal regulation and improving the domestic legal framework with systematic and full informing of Ukrainian people about consequences and new challenges in combating human trafficking.

Opposite Tendency

The necessity of combating human trafficking is often justified by the violation of human rights of the victims of human trafficking. Criticism has, however, repeatedly been voiced that the victim-centred, human rights-based approach has not been consistently applied - because, in reality, state interests in effectively combating (organized) crime and securing borders against illegal migration take precedence. An opposite tendency criticizes the criminalization of human traffic on the grounds that human rights are not violated in every case within the definition of human trafficking, and criminalization is inappropriate in such cases. Furthermore, various parties point out that there is little empirical data on trafficking in human beings, and the available data is unreliable. This contribution aims to provide an overview of these issues and argue in favour of a nuanced examination of phenomena covered by the legal definition of human trafficking.

Institutional Mechanism

The article emphasizes that human trafficking is a modern form of slavery and a crime against humanity. The causes of the international crime are unresolved migration problem in the world, armed conflicts, insufficient efforts of states to combat human trafficking, inefficiency political and economic transformations in the state, corruption officials, declarative social policy and numerous other reasons. UN Office on Drug and Crime reports an increase in the number of recorded cases of human trafficking in the world. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, states have closed their borders, but this is not the way out. After the resumption of international connections, a new wave of migration flows is expected. As a result, the level of human trafficking crime will increase. The institutional mechanism of the UN, the Council of Europe and the role International Criminal Court in the field of combating the crime of trafficking people were analyzed. The scale and effectiveness of certain international legal acts are determined. The main disadvantage is their recommendatory nature. Combating against transnational crime trafficking in human beings requires to use not only national and regional judicial system, but also international bodies. Particular attention was paid on the importance of the International Criminal Court and the European Court of Human Rights in investigating the crime of trafficking in human beings. The issue of jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court on human trafficking crimes was covered. Creating a new mechanism to combat human trafficking is not an appropriate way. We emphasized the importance of improving the work of existing institutions. Key words: crime against humanity, human trafficking, institutional mechanism, migration, International Criminal Court, Rome Statute, European Court of Human Rights.
