Freedom of expression, personal integrity, respect for honor and dignity, the right to an adequate standard of living, living conditions, and health care are among the fundamental human rights in the civilized world. Ignoring these opportunities in such criminal activities as human trafficking is an unacceptable phenomenon for today's reality. Yet, it exists. It is a challenge for researchers in various humanities, for policy- and decision-makers to create a system of effective counteraction to the violation of the inviolability of state borders and the fight against human trafficking. In this study, we focused on the relationship between the illegal border crossing and the analysis of the phenomenon of trafficking in persons, as well as their comparative characteristics and legislation to combat these phenomena. The subject of the study is public relations regarding illegal border crossing and human trafficking. Research methods are general scientific and special scientific methods, in particular, systemic, historical, comparative, and statistical. The study characterized the genesis of international regulation of combating trafficking in persons; found commonalities and differences between the phenomena of illegal border crossing and trafficking in persons; described the signs of trafficking in persons, particularly, as a crime; provided relevant legislation regarding illegal border crossing and human trafficking.
