In this scientific article, referring to the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On combating human trafficking”, the concept of “human trafficking” and the directions of state policy in the field of combating human trafficking is considered. Thus, the article states that human trafficking is a serious violation of human rights, all efforts to provide assistance and protection should be aimed at restoring the rights of victims of human trafficking and preventing their further violation. At the same time, victims should receive protection and assistance without discrimination: it is unacceptable to treat them unfavorably or with prejudice because of their experience in a situation of human trafficking or to restrict their rights. In addition, the moments concerning the identification of victims of human trafficking, sources of information about planned or committed crimes, forms of investigation, typical investigative versions and situations, algorithms, tasks and planning of the investigation are analyzed. The differences between human trafficking and migrant smuggling are also studied and examples related to high-profile criminal cases on this issue from the experience of Kazakhstan are given, including an example related to the operation “Blue Sky”, in which thousands of people participated, to investigate the smuggling of migrants.
