The (Re)Emergence of Slavery Crimes

Slavery and the slave trade as international crimes, war crimes, and human rights violations are (re)emerging as strengthened safeguards. Recently slavery and the slave trade are part of UN treaty negotiations, of a UN General Assembly Resolution, of amendments to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and as recognized exceptions to State immunity for wrongful acts. The afternoon lecture will visit the revived and revised evolution of slavery crimes, including their common misperceptions.
