Abstract
This chapter summarizes the main findings that emerged while answering the three research questions of this case study. The main conclusion to be drawn from this research is that as long as the US Government (USG) fails to take appropriate action through internal and external control mechanisms, effective oversight, and monitoring as well as functioning legal instruments to regulate private contractors’ activities, the trafficking and forced labor of third-country nationals (TCNs) in Iraq are likely to continue with impunity for contractors like KBR and their subcontractors and devastating consequences for the victims.
