- Summary
- The purpose of this casebook is to introduce judges, prosecutors and other legal practitioners to the ways in which national and international courts have analyzed the term ‘forced labour'. The hope is that this teaching tool will be useful to practitioners in adjudicating cases, as well as to policy- and decision-makers who draft legislation, investigate allegations and bring charges in (criminal or civil) courts or labour tribunals. In giving context to the term, this study of judicial notions of forced labour should also contribute to a deeper understanding of how to identify and eradicate the practice.
