This study offers an overview of the international and national legal framework for com-bating trafficking and a thorough description of the human rights standards related to the identification of trafficked persons. In addition, it also discusses different ap-proaches to the conceptualisation of trafficking in human beings.
The study further analyses the problems re-lated to the very construction and application of the definition of the term trafficking in human beings. It also examines the possible interpretations of some of the key topical terms, such as duress and other forms of exploitation.
