The conclusion maintains that despite recent revisions of global protocols to fight human trafficking, these efforts are still inadequate and detached from the needs of those whom these protocols aim to assist. It demonstrates that in efforts to fight human trafficking to Japan, the institutional structures and logics underpinning these efforts remain the same. Structural inequality still receives insufficient attention, and the inequities wrought by colonial histories and contemporary geopolitical relationships are still sidelined in the interest of creating a modular generalizable program conducive to governance at scale. The conclusion argues that the UN protocol continues to misperform its stated aims, banally advocating for a modular global program that ultimately reinforces a structurally violent status quo. It concludes that rather than providing humanitarian assistance to migrants after they have been severely abused and exploited, counter–human trafficking efforts should focus on preventing migrant abuse in the first place.
