New publication on Orphanage Trafficking in International Law
This book provides the first-ever comprehensive legal analysis of orphanage trafficking in international law by exploring the process of orphanage trafficking as a form of child trafficking in international law. In doing so, the author examines the process of orphanage trafficking in developing states, the enabling environment for it, as well as the demand for orphanage tourism. The book makes recommendations for how countries, where orphanage trafficking occurs, should tackle the issue. Child Identity Protection (CHIP) welcomes the holistic approach proposed by this publication as well as the recommendations of how countries should address orphanage trafficking. Preventing orphanage trafficking is indeed important from the perspective of the child’s right to identity, in particular, to have their name, nationality and family relations preserved and restored.
