Abstract

This contribution undertakes a review of the different legal devices that since the time of the (now extinct) League of Nations were formulated and developed with a view to eradicating slavery, first, and forced labor in its different forms from 1930 onwards. To this end, it will begin with a brief overview of the international instruments that have addressed the issue. Next, a review of the monitoring and control systems of the application of those instruments will be made. Finally, we will present some concrete approaches by the ILO Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations, CEACR, three judgments by the European Court of Human Rights and a ruling by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.
