Abstract

An unregulated web space known as the Dark Web has become a key operational platform for illegal operations that includes human organ trafficking. The research investigates how technology enables the illegal trade of human organs through the Dark Web relationship with the worldwide organ trafficking crisis. The paper explains how the Dark Web permits traffickers to stay hidden through data encryption along with cryptocurrency which protects them from detection. The research examines the Black-market organ industry where it shows how vulnerable groups become its main targets within a supply and demand structure. Traffickers use Dark Web marketplaces to run illicit organ trafficking operations while escaping detection from law enforcement agencies according to recorded case investigations. The research analyzes both legal and moral concerns about human being merchandise and barrier to global law enforcement. The research solution incorporates artificial intelligence combined with cyber forensic monitoring capabilities alongside stepped-up international cooperation to track Dark Web market participation. This discovery proves that strong new governmental controls and advanced digital solutions and global collaborative strategies are required to fight organ trafficking during this digital age.
