Human Trafficking
Wed, Feb 17, 2010
Legally, slavery no longer exists. It was officially abolished in most of the British Empire on 1 August 1834, 173 years ago. To further enforce the abolition, Article 4 of the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights prohibited slavery, and the slave trade worldwide, on 10 December 1948, 61 years ago. Despite these injunctions, illegal trafficking, and the related crime of illegal slavery, is a huge, hidden and lucrative enterprise.
