Abstract

Various forms of human exploitation, including human trafficking and forced labor are on the rise globally. The article proposes that governments have the means to act as end buyers, regulators, and law enforcers at the same time to contain and eliminate human trafficking from all supply chains they may reach. The article revisits three legislative models and examines the question whether the policies they represent can be rendered sufficient. The article finds that all regimes have their unique shortcomings. Furthermore, legislators tend to avoid rigor by applying back-door exceptions.
