O tráfico de pessoas na França e no Brasil: um olhar à luz dos direitos humanos

Abstract

Human trafficking is a crime of remote origin. This conduct had great intensity in Brazil’s colonial times and in an earlier period in France. Fought as one of the first affronts to human rights, human trafficking is now included in the list of mandatory prohibitions of international criminal law. Fighting this conduct has an international and a national dimension, France and Brazil have their own national projects for prevention, repression and assistance to victims that will be observed and compared. In order to reach the final objective of this work, we resorted to a qualitative exploratory approach, mainly using the bibliographic research in a comparative law approach. The historical-conceptual evolution of this crime is evoked, until its characterization as a great violation of human rights. It will be done in order to demonstrate how this historical-universalist concept produced effects in each of the systems and how each country elaborated its project, in order to highlight the convergences and divergences dispensed by the French and Brazilian treatments, reflecting on how each system can evolve from the crossed experiences.
