The conclusions adopted by the International Labour
Conference (ILC) at its 101st Session (2012) concerning the recurrent
discussion on fundamental principles and rights at work called on the
International Labour Office (ILO) to “conduct a detailed analysis, including
through the possible convening of meetings of experts to identify gaps in
existing coverage of ILO standards with a view to determining whether there is
a need for standard setting to: (i) complement the ILO’s forced labour
Conventions to address prevention and victim protection, including
compensation; and (ii) address human trafficking for labour exploitation”.
At its 316th Session in November 2012, the ILO Governing Body decided to
convene a tripartite meeting of experts in February 2013 with the objective of
providing recommendations to its 317th Session (March 2013) with respect to a
possible standards related item that could be placed on the agenda for the
103rd Session of the ILC in June 2014.
This report presents an overview of law and practice in three areas identified
in the 2012 ILC conclusions: prevention of forced labour; victim protection,
including compensation; and trafficking for labour exploitation. The report
covers examples of existing law and practice in member States from different
regions and with different legal systems, traditions and circumstances, and it
analyses the measures adopted and the corresponding gaps in the three thematic
areas.
