| Resumo: | For almost a century, the International Labour Organization's standards have continually shaped global debates and national actions on forced labour, starting with the adoption of the groundbreaking Convention No.29. Over time, the focus has shifted from narrow application in colonial contexts to universal rights, and from legal prohibition to a comprehensive approach on prevention, protection and access to justice. The adoption of Protocol No.29 has led to positive changes, including better data, stronger laws, policies and law enforcement. It enhances coordinated action, particularly with social partners, to tackle root causes, including through fair recruitment and due diligence in supply chains, building interlinkages with other fundamental principles and rights at work. However, the number of victims remains alarmingly high. As more countries ratify the Protocol, it is hoped that all will follow, scaling up promising practices and paving the way for a substantial reduction in forced labour worldwide. |
