Summary/Abstract: This scientific work deals with the international legal development of the problem of child trafficking. To that end, attention will be focused on Article 35 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child of 1989, which refers to the prohibition of abduction, sale or traffic. In this regard, an analysis of the legislative history related to the adoption of the final version of the provision has been made. At the international level, a definition of child trafficking has been provided in 2000 in the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (the Palermo Protocol). Last but not least, a comparison will be made between the definition of trafficking in children set out in the Palermo Protocol and the provision of Article 35 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
