Kuwait retains second-tier ranking on human trafficking
Kuwait has committed to strengthening its efforts in combating human trafficking, actively pursuing legal action, developing investigative tools, and protecting victims. As a result, it has maintained its classification in Tier 2 in the U.S. State Department's 2026 report for the second consecutive year. The Public Prosecution oversaw cases involving 64 suspects, charging them under anti-trafficking laws. The number of investigative cases increased from 3 to 11 during the reporting period, and convictions were issued for defendants involved in trafficking and money laundering crimes. Additionally, the Attorney General established a specialized unit to oversee investigations, train prosecutors, and develop mechanisms for identifying victims, all aimed at enhancing efforts to combat these crimes and safeguard victims.
