Crimes of Communism: "Forced labor camps at uranium mines in Jachymov and Pribram in Fifties of the 20th century " In this thesis, I tried to submit, if possible, factually true and correct image of a politically and legally difficult period in our postwar history. Communist revolution in February 1948 started the socialist reconstruction of our society with all the attendant phenomena of rising totalitarian power. Persecution of political opponents and their re-education and forced labor work in uranium mines in Jachymov and Pribram is a really sad reality of our recent history of the fifties of the last century. In retrospect, absurd crimes these prisoners and incredibly inhumane prison conditions and rules of inconvenient people in forced labor camps only show monstrosity of Communist ideology and are proof of loathing practices then representatives of the ruling party. Overview of forced labor camps, the operation of the communist judiciary, the number of incarcerated people, and unfortunately, the numbers who stay in the camps and work in uranium mines have not survived are so by drawing on what the historical stage brought our ancestors and what must remain unforgotten.

Thesis advisor: S Anukriti / Thesis advisor: Robert Murphy / It is widely believed that natural disasters increase human trafficking from the affected region or country; however, credible analyses of the causal relationship are lacking. This paper estimates the causal effect of natural disaster occurrence on economic factors and the probability of human trafficking. I find that there is a significant, positive effect of disasters—as measured by an indicator for occurrence as well as disaster intensity—on human trafficking. Moreover, disasters negatively impact economic outcomes, suggesting a potential mechanism through which disasters indirectly affect trafficking. These findings are policy-relevant for anti-human trafficking and disaster relief organizations as they provide empirical evidence for a previously hypothesized relationship and may help prioritize the underemphasized rise in trafficking during times of inevitable chaos. / Thesis (BA) — Boston College, 2016. / Submitted to: Boston College.

In the mid 1980s, national enterprises started to hire illegal foreign workers without the official introduction in Taiwan. Following with the soaring national economic growth, wage and income and the popular trend in stock, lottery and gambling games in 1985, workers were less willing to work. Industries, such as the 3K or 3D industry (dirty, dangerous and difficult), were less favored. In addition with the delaying participation of youth in job market due to the rising educational level, the supply for grassroots workers faced decreasing. Meanwhile, the national birth controlling policy also led to low birth rate, slow population growth and aging population, which triggered a serious labor shortage in Taiwan and enterprises also started calling for solving the labor shortage problem by introducing foreign workers. When Taiwanese government had first initiated the 14 major infrastructures project, the deadline of the project was kept postponing due to labor shortage. Therefore, the government set up a ¡§mechanism of workers demanding for14 major infrastructures project¡¨ by executive order, allowing entities to introduce foreign workers for the project. 3 years had gone, a ¡§mechanism for temporary labor shortage¡¨ was enforced. This mechanism allowed domestic industries to introduce foreign workers officially, announcing it can be applied to 15 jobs in 6 major industries. Through legislative procedure, the Employment Service Act had been passed on 3rd reading in 1992. Thus, a formal source of law can be found for introducing foreign workers. A riot started by Thai workers at Kaohsiung MRT in August 2005 not only revealed problems, such as foreign workers management and human rights, but also affected Taiwan¡¦s international reputation by large. Some foreign workers have received maltreatments, such as forced labor or involuntary labor. Moreover, the amount of foreign workers who are unaccounted for has kept increasing, too. In 2012, more than 30 thousand are missing. For researching the core problem, based on the 5 major frameworks of administration law, including the administrative principles, administrative organization, administrative authority, administrative remedy and administrative supervision, this study aims at examining the legal system of missing foreign workers prevention for national police to redress the deficiency of the legal system with researching by reference, historical analysis, comparative analysis and induction analysis. By comparing current management manners in Hong Kong, Singapore, Austria and Switzerland, I wish some valuable lessons can be learnt with more significant and concrete suggestions for related regulations to the missing foreign workers prevention and to protect human rights.

The goal of this thesis is to provide insight as to why the number of trafficking cases and convictions is still relatively low compared to the total volume of trafficking occurring, even though the trade is increasingly addressed by international law. Through a study of trafficking itself, a summary of current international legislation, and an analysis of the implementation of said legislation this thesis will show that the gap between legislation and enforcement can be partially accounted for by a widespread failure by states to adequately address the demand for trafficked persons in their national legislation. While this is far from a complete explanation of the problem it is an important piece of the puzzle.
