Abstract

Between 2019 and 2022, there will be a continuous rise in the number of Indonesian nationals who become victims of human trafficking abroad. According to data, there were up to 752 victims in 2022. Naturally, the state bears the responsibility of upholding the law and shielding victims of human trafficking. Institutions must work together to monitor people’s movements into and out of the state, particularly in border areas, to reduce the incidence of human trafficking. The role that national border posts play as a screening mechanism for transnational human trafficking offenses is the main topic of this essay. Is it necessary to rewrite international cooperation legislation to address the issue of human trafficking at state borders? This essay takes a theological stance and draws its source from secondary data. The study’s findings indicate that the PLBN is leading the way in reducing the incidence of human trafficking at state borders and that the persistence of traditional border posts is a challenge to state and local governments in their efforts to combat human trafficking. To fight human trafficking and enforce the law against international criminal acts of human trafficking, legal reconstruction is necessary. This is especially true for building global cooperation with adjacent countries.
