The Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Persons and of the Exploitation of the Prostitution of Others done at New York on 21 March 1950 is 70 years old
Abstract
The New York Convention is 70 years old. On the occasion of the anniversary, I made a comparison in connection with the Hungarian regulations. Today, in Hungary, the practice of prostitution is not a solved activity. Prostitutes have limited access to justice and are unable to meet state obligations towards them. The primary reason for this is the disorganization of domestic and international regulation. The first problem is the domestic legal regulation of prostitution, the second problem is the official treatment of prostitution, and the third problem is the lack of social reintegration. To analyze all of this, I used basic research, a source-critical approach, and commentary on the regulator. At the very end of the study, I made a proposal to develop a new model. If we were to allow the development of a model based on the exercise and guarantee of fundamental human and constitutional rights; and its support pillars are the strengths and opportunities of the old models, we could make sure that the weaknesses and dangers of the old models can be eliminated.
