Human trafficking is a global problem, transcending not only
geographical but also religious borders. Measures to combat trafficking
must, therefore, transcend geographical, economic, cultural and
religious boundaries. In order to reach out to all Islamic countries,
the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) recently released a ground-breaking paper entitled Combating Trafficking in Persons in Accordance with the Principles of Islamic Law (full report, pdf, 3.26MB).
The publication successfully analyses the Islamic legal framework on trafficking in persons, especially by calling for the elimination of the institution of slavery, the prohibition of exploitation of human beings in all its forms, the rejection of oppression and hardship, and the promotion of the duty of the public to promote good and prohibit evil.From: UN Pulse: Permanent Link: Islamic Law and Human Trafficking
