La traite d êtres humains à des fins d exploitation du travail

The scholarly book "Human Trafficking for Labor Exploitation" offers a comprehensive analysis of the provision introduced into the Swiss Penal Code in 2006 regarding human trafficking for labor exploitation. The author, Nadia Meriboute, sheds light on the unclear boundaries of this offense and examines the terms "human trafficking" and "labor exploitation" as well as their interactions. Through a nuanced comparison with other criminal law provisions, the typicality of Article 182 CP is thoroughly analyzed. The book also addresses central questions of general criminal law, including aspects such as consent, seizure, corporate criminal liability, and the jurisdiction of Swiss courts. The important issue of the alignment of Swiss law with international obligations is a key backdrop to the discussion.
