The International Day for the Abolition of Slavery The International Day for the Abolition of Slavery, December 2, recalls the date of the adoption by the General Assembly of the United Nations Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Persons and of the Exploitation of the Prostitution of Others (resolution 317 (IV) of 2 December 1949). Needless to say, this was a monumental event in human history. Express your feelings towards this historical milestone by submitting an article to Panorama! |
