Abstract

This article identifies some of the challenges faced by the East African Community in effectively implementing human trafficking laws within the region. It relies entirely on secondary data from documentary and online sources to reveal these emerging challenges. The findings show that to be relevant, strict adherence to the existing instruments, the establishment of more rigorous border checks to prevent the commodification of human beings and alignment of national legislation with comprehensive provisions in areas where human trafficking laws lack appropriateness and effective implementation should be taken into consideration. Furthermore, the EAC should establish a supranational legislative organ, similar to the European Commission, with the exclusive power to propose bills. This would contribute to a more centralized and efficient legislative process focused on serving the collective interests of the EAC community.
