		<description><![CDATA[Over the past decade, “trafficking in persons” or “human trafficking” for commercial sexual exploitation has been one of the fastest growing areas of international organized criminal activity. In simplest terms, human trafficking is “a cruel, ruthless, and cynical form of human exploitation, a serious crime, and a gross violation of human dignity.”1 In legal terms, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Germany has played a major role in every discussion revolving around the current Greek budgetary crisis. Not only has the country been singled out as the biggest creditor, and more generally as Europe&#8217;s paymaster, but it has also come under severe criticism for enforcing an export driven economic policy that condemns its European partners to [...]]]></description>
