Welcome

The Slavery Project - part of the International Human Rights Video Library - is a research driven project undertaken by Dr. Jean Allain meant to consider the international legal parameters of slavery, be they in general international law, the law of the sea, international human rights law, international humanitarian law, international criminal law, international labour law, etc. The outcome of the Project will be a monograph entitled: Slavery in International Law.

The Slavery Project then is a video collection that 'visits' various sites throughout the world -in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East, North America, and South America - linked to issues of slavery. The Project also includes interviews with leading practitioners and academics dealing with issues of slavery.

Both the legacy of slavery as well as modern day manifestations -- including its link to trafficking -- are included in the Project which allows students and internet users to gain insights into issues of slavery worldwide.
