Políticas públicas de combate ao tráfico humano adotadas pela Tríplice Fronteira- Argentina, Brasil e Paraguai após a ratificação da Convenção de Palermo: desafios e perspectivas

Abstract

Human trafficking represents a serious violation of Human Rights, directly attacking the dignity of the person. The Additional Protocol to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime on the Prevention, Suppression and Punishment of Trafficking in Persons, also known as the Palermo Convention, highlights the need for a global and international approach to combating trafficking, especially of women and children. The document emphasizes cooperation as a crucial mechanism to achieve this objective. At the heart of the research, the question stands out: "What are the main challenges faced by the Triple Border countries between Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay in implementing effective public policies to combat human trafficking after the Palermo Convention?". To this end, reports and documents relating to the problem will be analyzed. After the study, it is concluded that the triple border region faces major challenges, arising from multidimensional complexity. International cooperation has emerged as a pressing need, while unfavorable social conditions and state prioritization over the years have emerged as critical obstacles. Finally, it was notable that even with these obstacles, there was an increase in the number of victims rescued and assisted, as well as an increase in the number of complaints, legal proceedings and convictions, results of the public policies implemented by the nations in the study.
