Statute overview

About this statute

States Parties must take measures to abolish listed slavery-related practices and support marriage safeguards. The provision says the parties should, where appropriate, establish measures related to marriage and minimum age requirements. States Parties must stop slave trafficking, criminalize it, and share information about cases and attempts. A slave who takes refuge on board a vessel of a State Party is free. Enslaving someone, inducing servitude, attempting it, aiding it, or conspiring to do it is a criminal offence, and convicted persons are liable to punishment.
