El delito de la trata de personas en Colombia desde la óptica jurisprudencial

Abstract

In Colombia, the crime of human trafficking is typified by the Political Constitution of 1991 and also in the Penal Code, in the latter since 1986; when anyone who promoted the departure and entry of children and women into the country was punished; However, the perspective of this crime changed, as it became evident that not only children and women are victims of exploitation, in any form, but also men; under that scope the Penal Code typifies the offense in article 188 A and also the Colombian legislation is supported by International Organizations such as: the Organization of the United Nations (UN) and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, which have shown an high interest to help the States to prevent, investigate and prosecute this crime in Colombia. This investigation seeks to highlight the most important pronouncements of the High Courts in the country regarding the crime of Trafficking in Persons and in parallel to this the concepts issued by the aforementioned International Organizations, to reduce the commission thereof.
