Abstract

ABSTRACT Trafficking in Person is a grave offense that involves forcing people to perform services, work, or participate in commercial sex. Because poverty is a major element, people with low living standards are more susceptible to pressure with the promise of better employment. Several international conventions include the Palermo Convention in 2000 which has been ratified by the Indonesian government into Law Number 21 of 2007 concerning the crime of trafficking in persons, but its implementation still encounters obstacles. The formulation of the problem in the study is: 1. What is the perspective on the crime of trafficking in persons according to international law?, 2. How is the legal study related to the case of Trafficking In Persons in the case of Arie Wijaya that occurred in Indonesia?. The following are the findings of this normative legal research project, which included primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials as well as document-based data gathering methods and qualitative data analysis. 1. Regulations on combating human trafficking according to the Palermo Convention of 2000 and in Law Number 21 of 2007 concerning the eradication of criminal acts of human trafficking which regulates human trafficking both nationally and internationally, 2. In the trial at the Kupang District Court, it was decided to impose a prison sentence of 4 years and 6 months on the defendant, namely Arie Wijaya, and a fine of Rp200,000,000 with a subsidiary provision of 6 months imprisonment if the fine is not paid.
