This article introduces the reader to the definitions of smuggling, trafficking and organized crime as defined in the U.N. Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and its two protocols on trafficking and smuggling, as well as to the concepts of trafficked victims and source and destination countries. Trafficking is then examined as a process. The reader is introduced to the survey instruments and methodology used in projects participating in the U.N. Global Programme against Trafficking in Human Beings (GPATHB). The article provides general impressions of the smuggling and trafficking patterns in the countries participating in three of the U.N. projects. Attention is then focussed on some of the problems thus far encountered or anticipated in conducting research on trafficking in human beings. General conclusions and recommendations based upon the preliminary results of research and assessment missions to a number of countries involved in projects in the GPATHB are provided.
