Abstract

In October 1999, the European Council urged to the establishment of a common European criminal frame regarding the fight against human trafficking , to severely penalize this serious crime. Since then, national and regional initiatives have increased for it to become effective.During the last decade Spain has progressively adapted its inner legislation, with greater or lesser success, to the requirements of the international rules regarding human trafficking and smuggling of migrants. The different types of smuggling of migrants overlapped and were multiplied due to several reforms; thus numerous practical problems have arisen, being these not easily solved. The process began with the Organic Law 11/1999, of April 30, and culminates with the amendment of the Spanish Criminal Code by Organic Law 5/2010, of June 22. (English)
