4 Human Trafficking: Issues Beyond Criminalization In recent years, the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, thanks to the efforts of its President, its Chancellor and a num- ber of prestigious external collaborators – to whom I offer my heartfelt thanks – has engaged in important activities in defence of human dignity and freedom in our day. This has been par- ticularly the case with efforts to eliminate human trafficking and smuggling, as well as new forms of slavery such as forced labour, prostitution, organ trafficking, the drug trade and or- ganized crime. As my predecessor Pope Benedict XVI stated, and I myself have repeated on several occasions, these are true crimes against humanity; they need to be recognized as such by all religious, political and social leaders, and by national and international legislation.
Statement by His Holiness Pope Francis to the “Judges’ Summit on Human Trafficking and Organized Crime”, Casina Pio IV, Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, Vatican City, Friday, 3 June 2016.
