Paragraph
Paragraph text
Given the transnational nature of human trafficking, acts may often take place across borders, creating jurisdictional issues. For this reason, a number of States have given their courts jurisdiction over the crime of trafficking even if the crime takes place in a foreign jurisdiction. Others have legislated that if at least one of the acts of trafficking (for example, recruitment, accommodation or exploitation) is committed on national territory, prosecution may be pursued even if the act was carried out abroad.
