HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND FORMS OF EXPLOITATION IN THE JURISPRUDENCE OF THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS

Abstract

The Mexican legal system is currently immersed in a close relationship with international law, particularly following the 2011 constitutional reform and various rulings of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation.^[1] Consequently, the phenomenon of human trafficking must be examined in light of the evolving jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, especially regarding which forms of exploitation the Court has identified, which it has overlooked and the extent to which poverty operates as a factor of vulnerability. This approach is justified because in all the cases analyzed throughout this study, poverty appears as a common denominator among the victims, and the inaction of the state institutions plays a significant role in enabling the forms of exploitation.
