| dc.description.abstract | The research analyses the national legal framework for trafficking in women and children in South Sudan. After the independence from Sudan in 2011, South Sudan ratified number of international Anti Trafficking and Human Rights Treaties, as well as regulating its own legislation to combat crimes in general and trafficking in particular. But it has not ratified some international treaties concerning with the suppression of human trafficking for example the 2000 Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, Supplementing the United Nations Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime. The researcher was motivated by the international and local civil society organizations reports about increasing instances of trafficking after !he 2013 conflict started in South Sudan. The main purpose is to examine South Sudan national laws that legislate human trafficking. The research identified some gaps in the national legislation of South Sudan for example the Penal Code 2008 which is not clear in criminalizing traffickers The study also established that the existing national laws of South Sudan are not fully enforced due to the limited capacity of the law enforcement officers, the Courts often lack adequate human and physical resources to investigate and prosecute crimes, including human trafficking. It was further found out that corruption is pervasive in the judicial sector, including the use of intimidation and bribery. It recommends the reform of the National Criminal Justice System. As well as South Sudan Penal Code 2008 should incorporate clear legal definition of trafficking in persons and trafficking in women and children. The research further recommends. that the difference between trafficking in persons, human smuggling and irregular migration should be clearly provided for, as well as revising articles 282 and 277 of the South Sudan Penal Code 2008. Trafficking in persons for all-purpose should be criminalized and treated in more clear and comprehensive manner. | en_US |
