Abstract

The research focuses on analysing the Tuvalu government’s efforts to securitise climate change through the Tuvalu Coastal Adaptation Project 2012-2024. The research method employed is descriptive research, which describes phenomena based on occurring facts, utilising secondary data sources through literature studies, including official TCAP policy documents, speeches by Tuvalu officials at UN forums, and statements in mass media. The results of this study found that the securitization efforts by the Tuvalu government through TCAP were successful, as they fulfilled the stages outlined in securitization theory including: (1) securitizing moves through speech acts performed by securitization actors, (2) framing of referent objects that must be protected from existential threats, (3) extraordinary measures taken by securitization actors to ensure the securitization process, and (4) audience acceptanc.

Abstract

Human trafficking, particularly involving women and children, is a serious challenge for the Philippines. As a country with a high rate of child sexual exploitation in East Asia, the Philippines has sought to eradicate this crime through the ratification of the Palermo Protocol, the passage of Republic Act No. 9208 and Republic Act No. 10364, as well as the establishment of the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (IACAT). This study analyses the effectiveness of the implementation of the Palermo Protocol in the Philippines using the Domestic Salience theory to measure the extent to which international norms have been adopted in domestic policies. The results show that the Philippines successfully improved its law enforcement capacity and obtained Tier 1 status in the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) in 2016. However, challenges such as limited resources, corruption, and inter-agency coordination still hinder the effectiveness of anti-trafficking policies. With a national strategy that includes prevention, victim protection, law enforcement, and international partnerships, the Philippines continues to reduce human trafficking. Despite significant progress, the study concludes that policy strengthening through cross-sector coordination, capacity building of law enforcement officials, and expansion of victim rehabilitation services are needed to ensure long-term effectiveness in combating human trafficking.
