The Islamic State and its Human Trafficking Practice

Summary/Abstract: Simultaneously with the growing concern over the European terrorist networks that are linked to Middle-Eastern radical groups, in spite of the recent actions and measures taken by NATO and other supranational organizations, Islamic State still longs to maintain its influence in the occupied territories with diverse methods. Among these is human trafficking, that represents a major threat from both humanitarian and international security perspective. In this article, I aim to present a series of aspects related to human trafficking, while highlighting the most important motivators for the practice. Although a prior motivation is personnel supply to the Syrian front, trafficking in persons serves several other purposes for the terrorist organization, such as extensive business, out of which come huge amounts of income (transport-specialized units, money-laundering and smuggling businesses); enslavement of women for sex, recruitment of children to infiltrate members of the terrorist organization to create forward bases in Europe.
