Trafficking in persons in conflict and post-conflict situations 2016, para. 14
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Human trafficking is an increasingly common feature of modern conflict, whether non-international or international. Existing vulnerabilities to trafficking, from gender-based violence to discrimination to lack of economic opportunity, are exacerbated before, during and after conflict. Furthermore, conflict tends to fuel impunity, the breakdown of law and order and the destruction of institutions and communities, which foster the conditions within which trafficking will flourish, often past the point at which hostilities cease.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially in women and children
