Slavery Convention of 1926

The Slavery Convention of 1926 is an international treaty established by the League of Nations to combat slavery in all forms. It defines slavery broadly to include forced labor, human trafficking, and practices resembling slavery. The treaty requires signatory countries to take measures to prevent slavery, prosecute offenders, and promote the emancipation of enslaved people. It laid the groundwork for global efforts to eradicate slavery and was a significant step toward recognizing slavery as a crime against humanity, encouraging nations to cooperate in eliminating such practices worldwide.
