Description

Human trafficking is a serious problem in Europe. Therefore, adequate protection of human trafficking victims is necessary. The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has only recently started to consider the issue under the framework of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). In light of the significance of the Court's case law for the evolution of European human rights, this book provides an analysis of the existing relevant ECtHR case law on article 4 of the ECHR concerning human trafficking. It aims to examine how victims of human trafficking are to be protected and to highlight unresolved questions. This book further investigates whether Austria fulfils the protection standard for human trafficking victims under the ECHR.
