Forced Labour Conventions

DefinedTerm · Legislation

ILO Conventions 29 (1930) and 105 (1957) eliminate all forms of forced or compulsory labour. Construction is a high-risk sector — particularly for migrant workers, bonded labour, and debt bondage. All 187 ILO member states have ratified C29 (near-universal). Funder ESF requirements specifically require signed evidence of freely-contracted labour.
