Human Trafficking nad The UN convection

Human trafficking, according to the UN convention, is the involvement, receipt, carriage, and harboring of individuals through risks, constraints of various practices of kidnapping, misdirection, misrepresentation, control mishandle, or compensation to accomplish the assent of the person’s responsibilities for abuse purposes (Wendy & Rawwida, 2015). Regardless of whether human trafficking is justified, the moral theory of Unitarianism and Deontology tends to dissect groups of people in order to support their moral choices. This paper will discuss many theories and how they might assist people understand human trafficking.In the U.S alone, human trafficking has over 31.6 US billion regarding benefits per year as indicated by the Universal Work Association (ILO, 2017). The finances are secured through business or sexual constraints. It is anticipated that about thirteen million individuals are subjected to human trafficking through sexual abuse. The benefits gained out of this act used in sexual assault and cultivation that may bring in profits. Moreover, some of the money’s gatherings include mechanical, building, mining and utilities. Every year, it is estimated that the private business raises up to 150 US billion universally (ILO, 2017). Most of the finances are made from Asia through the constrained benefits of sexuality.

Ethical issues of human trafficking

Ethical issues may be defined as a problem or condition that is necessary for an organization or a group of people to choose between options that must be determined as either right or wrong. The ethical issues in human trafficking are that men, women, and children are being forced to relocate for the purpose of labor, sex, and the removal of their organs against their will. Breaches of ethical behavior may be defined as failure to comply with laws or agreements. There are violations of ethical behavior in all acts of human trafficking according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (Vejar, 2015). In regards to morality and ethics, human trafficking is considered as morally wrong. For instance, the ethical issues lie in the core human rights through violations as well as what they suffer throughout their lives. In the following paragraphs, human trafficking issues will be explored from the viewpoints of relativism, deontology as well as the ethical egoism

Purpose and Structures of Human Trafficking

Human trafficking is utilized through unlawful enlistment rehearses such as the mala fide business association, capturing, online social stages and notion take-offs through legal papers that come from the unguarded and indirect access of oceanic fringes to Asia or Europe (Wendy & Rawwida, 2015). The economy and destitution are the primary factors that drive people to perfume human trafficking. The needy desires of humans make people’s circumstances this way, and so they are motivated to start dealing with humans.

Child labor is also a widespread form of human trafficking as well. Yes, that is extremely common, but human trafficking also includes the removal of organs as well. Being well-informed about this issue will also help people prevent this from happening as much as it is now. Where are there breaches of ethical behavior? There are many places in human trafficking where ethical practices are violated. When the victim has decided to come forward, they may consider their molester/rapist (in sex trafficking) is their “savior,” and when it comes to the organ removal, the victims may want more punishment for what the victim’s attacker did (Vejar, 2015). This is where ethics come into play. Relativism is the ethical theory that goes with this topic because the person was committing the crime believes that it is ok to do. Although what we may think is right or wrong you have to stick to the rules for consequences/punishment. Some may think the punishment should be death or life in prison that may not be the case. In the United States, human trafficking laws vary from state to state. If you look at the federal charges website, you will find various punishments.

Utilitarianism and Deontology Moral Speculation

As indicated by the Deontology morals, every group of people has a special pride with them. For instance, in 1724 to 1804, Immanuel Kant focused his convictions through the incomparable showed that each individual is profound of quality standards all throughout their goals (Orr, 2014). The author also revealed that a person might be great or terrible depending on his/her inspirations for integrity or overview thoughts about the act. It is evident with utilitarianism that ethical behavior is about doing the right or wrong act or acts. This applies to the consequences of every action. Deontology in the same way does not deny the action or its implications; it rather helps people keep their moral evaluation the same without thinking about the punishment.

With human trafficking, the attackers could be utilitarian and believe that what he or she is doing is truly for the greater good for everyone involved. Let us use the organ harvesting for example. Someone that does this may indeed think that the person they are harvesting organs would feel better about themselves if they donate an organ or organs, then this would help a person in need, and that person would get better and then so would the organ donor. This is what some of these attackers truly think when they are doing these types of actions. Deontology is important to keep in our minds when coming up with a sentence for the attacker. If we do not include deontology with our outcomes, there would be incredibly unfair punishments to the attackers (Orr, 2014).

The utilitarian theory would help people to ponder and decipher to what degree an act or situation may be virtuous or ethical behavior based on the outcomes of moral claims to the extent that the greatest number of people would benefit. On the other hand, deontology is a non-consequentialist ethical theory that suggests that an act should be investigated and evaluated according to a specified set of rules, regulations, and laws.

While exploring the two ideas with the human trafficking issues of today, I have found that there is one theory that I believe closely matches the acts with results. That theory is deontology because all acts committed by the offenders against the victims’ will are frowned upon in society as not morally correct. This theory also implies that the act or crime should fit consequences according to the laws in place. Deontology seems to be the best-fit as it applies to human trafficking.

Relativism

Relativism evaluates the first culture of trafficking particularly in areas where there is the societal norm as a taboo. Despite the fact that this method would not be desirable, the majority of them would turn out to be normal. The question one must ask is whether it will make it ethical when it comes to human trafficking.

Ethical Egoism

This type of theory does not violate against someone’s cognizance, actions or rights because the consequence is usually similar. The sole focus of the ethical Egoism is how the act is conducted and whether it makes them happy. It, therefore, exploits humans for sex or labor and whether their minds are noble (Lagon & Arend, 2015).

Our entire population in all areas of the world (women, men, and children) must be educated in an effort to avoid captivity and exposure to unwanted activities. They may include trafficking of labor, sex, reproduction for the sale of their children, and having their life-sustaining organs removed from their bodies against their will. This may lead to their death and those organs being sold on the underground black market. This act of selling humans for any purposes is barbaric and not acceptable within communities, cities, states, and planet.

Public seminars or meetings should be held free of cost to inform adults of the multiple signs of equipment into the private or underground realm of human trafficking. These people prey on our citizens to portray evidence of weakness, depression, drug uses/abuse, and ones who may have the feeling that no one cares about them. People must ensure their families and friends that they are wanted, they are not weak, depression is just a phase that they will overcome and the drug use or abuse is something that can be given up. The shortcomings people experience are not valid reasons to merge or comply with acts that they do not accept or condone.

Next, youth must be educated of the same, but on their level and in a way that they understand that approaches about guiding them towards a stranger. Women, men, and children should be soundly educated that if the signs of their rights violation are seen, then it is imperative that they contact the next person or agency in authority (parent or law enforcement agency).

This plan will be for the attempted abductive to inform the parent(s) or law enforcement, and from there the formulation of a plan will be designed to eliminate the deliberate act of trafficking of the person. It is a form of productive communication among all parties that result in a win situation that leads to the elevation of human trafficking and the prosecution of all involved negatively. The successful prosecution of all who plan, implement, execute, and aide in human trafficking starts with the management of law enforcement and the medical professionals. The two must have an open and efficient line of communication to be successful in hindering the plans of the traffickers. Additionally, victims of human trafficking not only suffered from the physical abuse inflicted upon them by their trafficker, but they also experienced reproductive issues associated with the sexual exploitation they were experiencing.

Conclusion

To conclude, the society has the knowledge, tools, and ability to combat this horrible crime of human trafficking. People only need to come together and make it happen one step at a time. This demon can be eliminated by educating the citizens, implementing a plan, execution of that plan for a successful result such as the prosecution of the offenders to the fullest extent of the law, and assisting the victims with mental and physical needs.
