This study examines the relationship between international migration and human trafficking in the Middle East, analyzing the effectiveness of human rights protection mechanisms. The research, qualitative and exploratory in nature, was based on the analysis of UN, UNODC, and IOM reports, focusing on the region's migratory dynamics and social vulnerabilities. The choice of the Middle East is justified by its strategic position in global migration routes, hosting approximately 35 million international migrants. The results reveal that armed conflicts and socioeconomic inequalities, combined with the Kafala system, create favorable conditions for human trafficking. The study concludes that, although international protection instruments exist, their effectiveness is compromised by cultural, political, and economic barriers, requiring an integrated approach between governments and international organizations
