Short description:

This book is not a specialist treatise in the usual sense. More accurately, it represents an attempt to apply the science and tools of international law to a specific, contemporary issue. From this perspective, it is as much about sources of international legal obligation, the formation of international law, the doctrines of responsibility, and theories of compliance as it is about trafficking. The book's focus is essentially a problem-solving one: The international community has identified trafficking as a problem and decided that law will be used to structure and enable at least part of the solution to that problem. By providing a clear and organized explanation of the law as it is, the capacity of those who are in a position to use international law to hold States and others to account is hopefully strengthened.
