This article focuses on “trafficking in persons” (TIP) in fisheries in Indonesia and Thailand. This The article refers to key international instruments on TIP and continues by discussing recent cases of TIP in fisheries in Indonesia that were reported in the first half of year 2015. It also explores national domestic legislation of Indonesia and Thailand in relation of measures to combat trafficking in the region. Bilateral and multilateral treaties such as the Treaty between the Government of the Kingdom of Thailand and the Government of the Republic of Indonesia Relating to Extradition and the ASEAN Treaty on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters are also addressed as cooperation tools which should be used by Indonesia and Thailand in prosecuting traffickers. To attain success in prosecuting law breakers and to be fair to all concerned, the author discourages those who are preoccupied with TIP from prejudging all unlawful acts as incidents of TIP since many of them might not fall under the criteria of TIP. Additionally, the article addresses the U.S. Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000, which classifies countries under one of the tiers stipulated therein. The author indirectly suggests that, via the Act, the U.S. puts pressure upon other countries to intensively suppress TIP and properly protect victims of TIP. Therefore, the author urges Indonesia and Thailand to take special care in handling incidents of TIP in fisheries.

本文重点讨论印度尼西亚和泰国渔业中的“人口贩运”（TIP）。本文引用了关于 TIP 的主要国际文书，并继续讨论了 2015 年上半年报告的印度尼西亚渔业中最近的 TIP 案例。它还探讨了印度尼西亚和泰国在打击贩运措施方面的国内立法在该区域。双边和多边条约，例如《泰王国政府与印度尼西亚共和国政府关于引渡的条约》和《东盟刑事事项司法协助条约》也被视为印度尼西亚应使用的合作工具和泰国起诉贩运者。为了成功起诉违法者并公平对待所有相关人员，作者不鼓励那些对 TIP 着迷的人将所有非法行为预先判断为 TIP 事件，因为其中许多可能不属于 TIP 的标准。此外，该文章还讨论了美国 2000 年《贩运和暴力受害者保护法》，该法将国家分类为其中规定的等级之一。笔者间接暗示，美国通过该法案向其他国家施压，要求其大力打压TIP，妥善保护TIP受害者。因此，笔者敦促印度尼西亚和泰国在处理渔业TIP事件时要特别小心。2000 年贩运和暴力保护法的受害者，该法根据其中规定的一个等级对国家进行分类。笔者间接暗示，美国通过该法案向其他国家施压，要求其大力打压TIP，妥善保护TIP受害者。因此，笔者敦促印度尼西亚和泰国在处理渔业TIP事件时要特别小心。2000 年贩运和暴力保护法的受害者，该法根据其中规定的一个等级对国家进行分类。笔者间接暗示，美国通过该法案向其他国家施压，要求其大力打压TIP，妥善保护TIP受害者。因此，笔者敦促印度尼西亚和泰国在处理渔业TIP事件时要特别小心。
