Scope and content
The International Slavery Convention of 1926, which sought to prevent and suppress the slave trade and to bring about the complete abolition of slavery, became a UN instrument in 1955 (see LEG 17/1/02). However, studies undertaken by ECOSOC and the ILO indicated that in order to effectively eliminate slavery in all its forms a new supplementary convention was needed. These records relate to the drafting of such a convention, adopted by ECOSOC in September 1956 under the title Supplementary Convention on the Abolition of Slavery, the Slave Trade and Institutions and Practices Similar to Slavery. This convention entered into force in April 1957.
