- In the UN Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime and its supporting document, the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress, and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children (often shortened to the Trafficking in Persons Protocol), the concept of organ trafficking is included in the definition of the broader term human trafficking, which refers tothe recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation. Exploitation shall include, at a minimum, the exploitation of the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labor or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs.The last section of this definition provides the specific requirement for organ trafficking—that human organs (including cells and tissues) from living persons are removed and sold on the black market to people needing the organs in transplant procedures.
