CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Child-trafficking is one of the three most profitable trades. It comes next to drug trafficking and trafficking in arms (Wilson O, 2012). However, it is hard to ascertain the exact number of persons, including children that are trafficked across the globe (Sandy H., 2009). Trafficking in children is directly associated with child abuses, as trafficked children are forced into prostitution and other forms of exploitation. These children do not only become victims of psychological and physical abuse, but also face many violations of their fundamental rights.

Child-trafficking (or, generally human trafficking), is one of the most challenging issues affecting the modernization and developmental aspirations of Nigeria, as a country. While human trafficking, in general, is exclusively motivated by a financial profit, wherever it occurs; child-trafficking in Nigeria, on the other hand is founded on custom and tradition, such as child-fostering. Accordingly, the current legal responses, in Nigeria, to the problem of child trafficking obviously indicate a clear disinclination to tackle the cultural and institutional foundation of the problem [5] . Research has revealed that in Nigeria, there are two dimensions of child- trafficking. The first, conveniently tagged as internal dimension, consists of a situation where young women, boys and girls are trafficked, through intermediaries or sometimes by organised criminal networks, from their natural rural homestead to urban territories in the country. The aim is to procure for the victims of trafficking households where they can serve as house helps with little or no remuneration for their services. This practice is rooted in local custom peculiar to Nigeria and most African communities, where poor members of the community dwelling in rural areas send their children to their relatives in urban areas who are more financially capable to take care of the children. The agents or intermediaries in this transaction often get compensated. The second dimension, styled as external dimension by researchers on the subject, has been an issue of grave concern in Nigeria recently; given the bad image it gives the country at the global level. This dimension involves trafficking of victims (including children), by organised crime syndicates, to other African and European countries in exchange for financial gain. The illegal transactions have assumed such a level of sophistication that they often involve documentation and written agreements (Okogbule NS, 2013).

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Many researchers on this subject have placed great emphasis on poverty as the major cause of the demand for exploitative use of children, this study examines every other conceivable factor, but gives considerable attention to the efficacy of the laws designed to tackle the problem in Nigeria and the effectiveness of their enforcement. Since child trafficking in Nigeria, as stated earlier, derives some of its motivating factors from local custom and cultural practices, it is expected that these may influence the formulation of the laws and the implementation of the rules prescribed in them.

1.3 AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The study seeks to analyze the place and role of international criminal law in elimination of child trafficking. The objectives of the study are:

  1. To examine the impact of child trafficking on the economy of Nigeria.
  2. To examine the efforts of international criminal law in stamping out children trafficking.
  3. To see the effect of trafficking in the society.
  4. To determine the place of international criminal law agencies in the fight against children trafficking

1.4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS

The research questions are:

  1. What is the impact of child trafficking on the economy of Nigeria?
  2. How effective is the efforts of international criminal law in stamping out children trafficking?
  3. What is the effect of trafficking in the society?
  4. What is the place of international criminal law agencies in the fight against children trafficking?

1.5 STATEMENT OF THE HYPOTHESIS

H0: child trafficking does not affect children negatively in Nigeria

H1: child trafficking negatively affects children negatively in Nigeria

1.6 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This study will be of immense benefit to other researchers who intend to know more on this topic and can also be used by non-researchers to build more on their work.

This study contributes to knowledge and could serve as a bench mark or guide for other work or study. It avails individuals with information about the place and role of international criminal law in elimination of child trafficking.

1.7 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The study covers on an analysis of the place and role of international criminal law in elimination of child trafficking

1.8 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

  1. Financial constraint- Insufficient fund tends to impede the efficiency of the researcher in sourcing for the relevant materials, literature or information and in the process of data collection (internet, questionnaire and interview).
  2. Time constraint- The researcher will simultaneously engage in this study with other academic work. This consequently will cut down on the time devoted for the research work.

1.9 DEFINITION OF TERMS

CHILD TRAFFICKING: Trafficking is where children and young people tricked, forced or persuaded to leave their homes and are moved or transported and then exploited, forced to work or sold. Children are trafficked for: sexual exploitation.
