Summary/Abstract: Human trafficking is a concerning international problem because of the fact that it takes a full swing at the time of modernization, technology, science and the development of human society and democracy. That creates a black spot in the history of humanity, and a challenge that has to be dealt by the institutions of the political system, the organizations and citizens of a constitutional state. Not only this crime is focused on illegal use of human body and labor, but also this phenomenon negatively affects the state, its progress, reputation, economy and above all, the overall security of the country. This phenomenon, known as a modern form of slavery, in its aspiration, is the fastest growing criminal industry in the world. Profits from trafficking have a negative impact on the national security by encouraging money laundering, fraud, tax crime, falsification of documents, trafficking in arms and drugs, the sale of human organs and other criminal activities, and the most dangerous of all are the financing of terrorism, civil wars and international conflicts. By recognizing these negative facts, the following question arises: How to build a powerful and functional instrument for dealing with this extremely negative phenomenon? Knowing that human trafficking is a problem that becomes more dangerous for isolated struggle, governments at the regional and the international arena have started to unite their strengths and capacities in a more organized way to form a powerful legal instrument, which is based on international cooperation. A global issue such as human trafficking requires a global response. The purpose of the study is to indicate the benefits of cooperation between the state through the ministries, institutions, agencies and departments, specialized in the prevention and repression of trafficking, because this criminal phenomenon can be curbed only by taking common measures and actions to combat at regional and international level. Thus, all countries should engage in the global fight against human trafficking, which as a complex criminal phenomenon, requires a comprehensive and continuous international treatment.
