EXCERPT FROM INTRODUCTION:

“This Essay is divided into three parts. Part I inquires into the definition of human trafficking articulated by various laws passed in the Arab World. Part II addresses how the ultimate goal of victim protection is handled under different Arab human trafficking laws. Part III analyzes the role of civil society in combating human trafficking and the status of this role in Arab anti-trafficking laws. The Essay will conclude with a call for the enhancement of civil society’s role in promoting human rights, including the rights of trafficking victims. It will also argue that full implementation of human trafficking laws requires consideration of other related human rights legislation.”
