Before the special incrimination in Georgian Legislation (6 June 2003), the punishment contemplated for trade in human being was far less and thus, the state's legal mechanism was less mobilized for fighting against it. On 24 November 2006, the Parliament of Georgia ratified the European Convention regarding the fight against illegal trade in human beings, as fifth participant State of this Convention.

The Georgian Legislation targeted against trafficking is now in full conformity with the standards set by the European Convention, with a very comprehensive and coherent system of intervention, indispensable for getting some results.
