Traffic is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as:
- the transportation of merchandise for the purpose of trade; hence, trade between distant or distinct communities; commerce
and:
- In wider sense: The buying and selling or exchange of goods for profit; bargaining; trade.
But the dictionary goes on to say:
- With sinister or evil connotation: Dealing or bargaining in something which should not be made the subject of trade.
Hence traficking often means illegal commerce, involving transporting, usually smuggling drugs, transporting small arms or slaves. The trafficking in human beings is not the same as people smuggling. A smuggler will facilitate illegal entry into a country for a fee, but on arrival at their destination, the smuggled person is free; in people trafficking, the trafficking victim is kidnapped and enslaved.
