Absztrakt (kivonat)

From the beginning, I knew, that I wanted to shed light on a subject matter in my thesis that despite being significant, somehow is still overlooked in many cases and that many citizens of the European Union are unaware of. The phenomenon of human trafficking is more complex of an issue in today’s Europe than ever due to a number of factors associated with but not limited to economics, technology, and COVID-19. However, although legislation to address the issue exists the actions taken by the European Union to tackle the problem are simply not sufficient. We can find that there are directives and strategies all worked out by institutions of the EU but what these all have in common is something that most similar documents drawn up and published by the Union share as a joint characteristic (no matter whether the topic is environmental protection, or other): a very compassionate, but still more a rather diplomatic tone, identifies issues without offering drastic measures to facilitate real and efficient ways to tackle them. In my thesis, I analyzed different concepts frequently mentioned hand in hand with human trafficking, the history and past trend of the phenomenon, as well as compiled court cases regarding the issue that occurred in the last ten years. I set out the goal to find out through examining court cases relating to human trafficking cases to see whether or not EU agencies and national authorities in fact approach and handle the issue with as little success as my intuitive presumption assumes. Despite concluding that the efforts in combatting human trafficking have not been sufficient enough in the past decade, I do think that the strategies that the European Union is intending to implement in this cycle are more on-hand methods and solutions rather than simply friendly suggestions. However, it is apparent, that designing strategies and making them widely accessible is not enough. Change is needed to further encourage and even to kindly but firmly pressurize Member States to start utilizing the instruments that they are provided with. The path the organization is taking is significantly more promising than the previous strategies and I do expect to see the results of these reforms in the upcoming years hopefully, provided the necessary changes are made.
