We discussed this by explaining the definition of sexual violence, basic rules for protecting kids in general, and finally the international efforts to protect children born out of sexual violence. We talked about what the danger of human trafficking may have on the whole international community, as it is regarded as a crime against humanity. The study explained the human trafficking crime concepts in the national and international agreements and legislation and clarified the substantive and procedural aspects of human trafficking crime in investigation and trial stages; because of the connections they have through international cooperation in this domain under international agreements, treaties and national legislations. In addition, this study highlighted the efforts made in Iraq to fight this crime under Law No. 28 of 2012 and following the committees emanating from it in the Kurdistan regional government. The study concluded that international organizations should strive to provide the necessary protection for these children and we need more international cooperation to proceed the investigation and trial stages and secure the mechanisms and tools needed to guarantee the investigation according to the principles and skills required by the principles of a criminal investigation in this crime as crime elements are in different countries and so without cooperation, the investigation stage will not be complete. Thus, the perpetrator will remain unpunished‎‎‎. %U https://odad.org/article/the-investigation-into-human-trafficking-crimes-in-light-of-national-and-international-legislation
