The Ad Hoc Committee on Slavery was a committee of the United Nations (UN), created in 1950. It investigated the occurence of slavery on a global level. Its final report resulted in the introduction of the Supplementary Convention on the Abolition of Slavery of 1956.

History[edit]

The global investigation of the occurrence of slavery and slave trade performed by the Advisory Committee of Experts on Slavery (ACE) between 1934 and 1939, was interupted by the outbreak of the World War II, but it lay the foundation for the work against slavery performed by the UN after the war.^[1]

When the League of Nations was succeeded by the United Nations (UN) after the end of the World War II, Charles Wilton Wood Greenidge of the Anti-Slavery International advocated for the UN to continue the investigation of global slavery conducted by the ACE of the League.^[2] Greenidge's campaign met success in 1949, when the UN formed their ad hoc Committee on Slavery. The Committee was formally inaugurated with its first meeting at Lake Success in February 1950.^[3]

Legacy[edit]

The Committee filed its final report to the ECOSOC in 1951, and it was published in 1953. The report lay the ground work for the creation of a new anti slavery convention known as the Supplementary Convention on the Abolition of Slavery, which was presented in 1954 and introduced in 1956.^[4]
