Forced or Compulsory Labour
|
Quote:
.The ECHR in the case of Van der Mussele 8919/80 affirmed that the ILO conventions were the starting point for interpreting Article 4. The conventions, defined forced or compulsory labour as being 'all work or service which is exacted from any person under the menace of any penalty and for which the said person has not offered himself voluntarily'. To that end, the section 71 offence will require an element of coercion or deception between the defendant and the victim.
