The trafficking of refugees has become a priority in discussions about the efficacy of human trafficking law in recent years. While the number of studies concerning this phenomenon has increased, there is a paucity of literature about the effectiveness of anti-human trafficking laws in the Arab world. This article focuses on Syrian refugees trafficked into Lebanon, and evaluates the strength of Lebanese Law No. 164 Trafficking in Persons in its mandate to (i) prevent the act of trafficking, (ii) protect the trafficked, and (iii) prosecute the traffickers. Using original interviews conducted with participants in Lebanon’s ‘Chez Maurice’ sex-trafficking case, results indicate that the preventive and protective services the law purports to provide are largely supplied by civil society organizations, and that victims may face prosecution or deportation for sex work. These findings present particular challenges to women trafficked during wartime.

近年来，贩卖难民已成为讨论人口贩卖法效力的优先事项。虽然关于这一现象的研究数量有所增加，但关于阿拉伯世界反人口贩运法有效性的文献却很少。本文重点关注被贩运到黎巴嫩的叙利亚难民，并评估黎巴嫩第 164 号人口贩运法在 (i) 防止贩运行为、(ii) 保护被贩运者和 (iii) 起诉贩运者方面的效力. 使用对黎巴嫩“切斯莫里斯”性交易案件参与者进行的原始访谈，结果表明该法律声称提供的预防和保护服务主要由民间社会组织提供，并且受害者可能因性工作而面临起诉或驱逐出境。这些发现对战时被贩卖的妇女提出了特殊的挑战。
