The research analyzed the issues from administrative, social, and criminal law perspectives. The study focused on labor conditions, social benefits of the aliens who were the victims of trafficking, asylum legislation, issues related to adoption and marriages of convenience, regulations related to au pairs, the role of criminal laws, and cooperation possibilities between the Philippine and Belgian police and justice agencies in criminal cases. The analysis concluded that emphasis should be placed on using existing instruments and mechanisms on a national and international level and on dealing with the problem on an interdisciplinary basis. It also concluded that cooperation between Belgium and the countries involved will have to give more attention to social reintegration, protection of employees, and more effective police and judicial cooperation. Recommendations focused on the definition of trafficking in human beings, preventive measures, policies related to aliens, social and criminal legislation, international cooperation, and victim services.
