Abstract

Whether the ordinary meaning of servitude, forced or compulsory labour (forced labour), and slavery or slave-trade (slavery), as defined in international law, supported the prohibition of human trafficking as a form of servitude, forced labour or slavery, for the purpose of construing these human rights violations under Hong Kong law.
