A Study on Cross-strait Cooperation of Combating Human Trafficking -An Analysis of “Cross-strait Joint Fight against Crime and Mutual Legal Assistance Agreement” / 兩岸合作查緝人口販運犯罪之研究-以《海峽兩岸共同打擊犯罪及司法互助協議》為中心

碩士 / 中央警察大學 / 外事警察研究所 / 103 / Since 2010, Taiwan has been listed as tier one country by the Annual TIP Report. However, China is always listed as tier-two watch-list country. Therefore, there is huge gap between China and Taiwan. The Cross-strait Joint Fight against Crime and Mutual Legal Assistance Agreement, which was enacted on 25th June 2009, includes human trafficking as one of the missions of joint fight against crime. Nevertheless, the human trafficking crimes which were investigated based on this agreement were rare.
In order to fine out the reasons of the low number of cases, my research interviewed 7 practical officials. In conclusion, these findings pointed out 6 dimensions of difficulties at internal law enforcement, which includes departments’ competition lacking their cooperation, high tap limitation, different opinions of identifying victims, low prosecution and guilty rate, limp penalty, and lacked financial resource.
Besides, the difficulties at the investigation cooperation of two countries contains laws difference, trust shortage, intelligence-sharing limitation, uneasy to reveal forged documents, different standard of evidence ability, and unequal request of deportation.
Therefore, my research raised 8 suggestions to overcome current problems. Firstly, the law enforcement needs to renew the assessment model, enhance the investigation quality and intelligence exchange. Secondly, investigating human trafficking crime should allow tapping. Thirdly, the government should protect the rights of human trafficking persons and set up professional tram to identify victims. Fourthly, Taiwanese government needs to amend the conditions of human trafficking crime and raise the punishment. Fifthly, the two countries have to agree that the evidence ability can share at this cross-country crime. Sixthly, the government should provide continually training for the law enforcement officials. Seventhly, two governments should establish embassies to examine the applicants of coming to Taiwan. Lastly, the government has to increase to budget to support the first-line officials to reconnoiter crimes and working experiences exchange.
