Summary/Abstract: Imagining new possibilities for liberating the planet from these multiple impasses in progress and from the criminal society at the dawn of this new century is a necessity for the community of existing people" to make a "reasonable humanity" with a view to fulfilling our mission to be in the world. In reality, the planet is a gift from everyone and every living being has rights no matter how small. However, the nursery of humanity, namely children, faces an illicit and criminal trade that violates their rights and their well-being through the phenomenon of illegal migration and their trafficking. It is in this perspective that the Gulf of Guinea constitutes a hub of this heavy tendency which until now remains weakly analyzed in this center of interest. Many circulation routes for this traffic are set up between West and Central Africa through a pyramid drawn up by investors, recruiters, transporters, and recruiters. These children, once they arrive in the different countries of destination, are exploited for domestic work, field work, shops, etc. This is an international violation of the rights and welfare of children. Because children deserve national and international protection. They are the future of humanity. Hence, local, and global order strategies are put in place to prevent and combat this alarming phenomenon of modern slavery. Nevertheless, local and international normative and security policies must reinvent themselves for effective and efficient international protection of children's rights and welfare.
