Summary/Abstract: The practice of human trafficking is not only a serious legal and social issue but a major violation of human rights, an attempt to reduce the value of humanity and to treat humans as objects. The National Agency against Trafficking in Person reports describe a tendency of decreased numbers of Romanian victims identified in the last decade by the judicial institutions. The complexity of this criminal phenomenon requires the promotion of a systemic approach and a comprehensive and coordinated involvement of every public institution and authority, nongovernmental organizations, and specialists with competencies in the field of preventing and fighting human trafficking and in providing all forms of assistance services for social reinsertion.We are analyzing if Romanian law has adequate provisions regarding human trafficking victims` rights, in line with international regulation. We are discussing the good practices and the challenges raised by the implementation of the legal victims` rights, also drawing some suggestions for improving the administrative process of institutional cooperation.
