Abstract
This study dealt with the legal status of this crime in the Jordanian and Iraqi legislation and showed the measures they took at the national level with two sections. In the first requirement, we dealt with the criminal policy of Iraqi and Jordanian legislators in combating the crime of human trafficking, and in the second request we dealt with the measures followed by Iraqi and Jordanian legislators to curb the crime of human trafficking.
This study found that the Jordanian and Iraqi legislators did not require the use of means to commit the crime of human trafficking. Where the scope of this crime has been narrowed, and they have subjected the provisions of criminal participation in it to the general rules in their penal legislation, and they have adopted the availability of the intent to exploit, which is a special element of this crime, and this raises the difficulty in adapting this crime. It also concluded that the Jordanian legislator's policy is considered one of the pioneering policies in combating human trafficking by adopting a preventive pattern and a new method in criminalizing a range of acts that would facilitate the perpetration of this crime. It also concluded the necessity of activating the role of civil society organizations and national committees specialized in combating human trafficking, coordinating with the relevant authorities and cooperating with security, academic and religious institutions and the media to raise awareness of the dangers of this crime and ways to prevent it, prepare annual reports and issue them at the regional and international levels, and develop the necessary plans and programs to combat it.
