Annotation:
This essay discusses the connection between human trafficking and national security. The authors provide a brief history of trafficking law and a definition of “national security,” and explain how human trafficking is a threat to national security through its origins in unstable countries (on military, economic, and diplomatic levels). Finally, they recommend proper labeling and education about the issue, a unified approach between those whose goal is catching traffickers and those whose goal is national security protection, and a focus on identifying the root of trafficking in unstable country’s inability to protect its citizens.
