Human Trafficking as a Crime Against Humanity: Puerto Rico’s Innovative Approach to Human Rights Legislation
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
Julian Bava focused his human rights capstone on analyzing the history and text of Puerto Rico’s Crimes Against Humanity (CAH) legislation in order to determine its potential effectiveness as an accountability tool. Utilizing Article 300 of Title V (“Crimes Against Humanity”) of the Penal Code of Puerto Rico (the “Penal Code”), Julian notes how Puerto Rico is unique in offering a state level framework for prosecuting atrocity crimes and reveals the critical role subnational jurisdictions may play in shaping international law and its application within the United States. With this analysis, Julian shows how Puerto Rico’s atrocity crimes legislation provides a promising landscape that not only pushes international law in a novel direction, but also provides tangible opportunities for victims to seek redress.
