Présentation éditeur :

« The Law and Slavery sets out the articles, book reviews and case notes by Professor Jean Allain which led to pioneering exploration of forced labour, servitudes, slavery, the slave trade, and trafficking in his 2013 Slavery in International Law : Of Human Exploitation and Trafficking (MNP).
This collection brings together Professor Allain’s considerations of the evolution of legal abolition internationally, his critique of the then status quo in the area of slavery and the law, and goes on to develop the foundations of a legal understanding of various servitudes and slavery based on his archival research and legal analysis. Professor Allain’s research has transformed the landscape of how we understand contemporary slavery and those other servitudes which constitute human exploitation. »

Jean Allain is Professor of Public International Law at Queen’s University, Belfast and Extraordinary Professor at the University of Pretoria. His books related to human exploitation include The Slavery Conventions (MNP, 2008) and his ground breaking Slavery in International Law (MNP, 2013).
