LEGISLATIVE MODELS REGARDING PROSTITUTION, PIMPING, AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING: INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS LAW AND STATE OBLIGATIONS

Abstract

Prostitution, pimping, and human trafficking are global phenomena with profound social, economic, and legal implications. These issues are recognized as violations of human dignity and human rights within the international legal framework, which imposes binding obligations on states to combat exploitation and protect victims (CAP International, n.d.). This paper examines the international legal framework governing these phenomena, analyzes the main legislative models, and discusses the impacts and risks associated with legalization and decriminalization of prostitution.
