Abstract

Trafficking in human beings stands as the new form of slavery of the XXI century, violates the rights of individuals, undermines the human dignity of those who suffer it and constitutes a form of serious reification and exploitation of human beings by their fellow human beings, for economic benefits or of any other kind. States have endeavored to contain it but have not succeeded in eradicating it, which will only be achieved through education, awa-reness-raising and empowerment of potential victims. The goal of this article is to establish which is the most comprehensive denomination of the different biological stages of man, in order to obtain full protection in any national law, without taking into consideration the legal concept of person; And, secondly, to propose a current definition which, taking into accountthe formulas contained in relevant legal instruments, is applicable, remains in force and removes gray areas.
