Title:   MIGRATION AND NEO SLAVERY AS SIGNIFICANT FEATURES OF THE 21ST CENTURY – LESSONS FROM COVID-19

Abstract
Slavery is a crime against humanity. It was abolished in the 19th century after a
long struggle. Unfortunately, it appears to have become a significant feature of
the 21st Century calling into question the continued validity of the laws prohibiting
the same. It appears that migration, particularly, international migration, has
become a vehicle for the re-introduction of slavery in the 20th and 21st centuries.
There is every need to monitor migration and take steps to ensure that migrants
do not unwittingly end up in slavery and slavish conditions in the name of seeking
for greener pastures abroad.
