The U.S. State Department esti- mates that human traffickers bring between 14,500 and 17,500 persons annually into the United States for various avenues of exploitation, in- cluding involuntary servitude and forced prostitution. Human traffickers are highly organized into criminal syndicates that reap exponential prof- its exploiting vulnerable women and children. Individual states struggle to prosecute traffickers and must rely on federal prosecution of traffick- ing enterprises. International cooperation with local law enforcement is essential in combating trafficking, especially in the sex trade. This Article proposes that an international database be maintained to track the whe- reabouts of prosecuted traffickers, similar to the sex offender registry in the United States. Like the U.S. sex offender laws, which seek to dramati- cally decrease recidivism among sex offenders, an international registry could have a deterrent effect on trafficking. Limiting and monitoring the travel of convicted traffickers would be a new avenue that international law enforcement and governing bodies could use to contain the perni- cious practice of trafficking.
