Mr. Martinez Baez, Mr. Singhvi, Mrs. Warzazi and Mr. Whitaker

The Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities, Recalling the goals of the Slavery Convention of 1926, the Supplementary Convention on the Abolition of Slavery, the Slave Trade, and Institutions and Practices Similar to Slavery of 1956 and the Convention for the Suppression of the

Traffic in Persons and of the Exploitation of the Frostitution of Others of 1949,

Noting with concern that the reports of the Working Group on Slavery on its fifth and sixth session (E/CN.4/Sub.2/434 and E/CH.4/Sub.2/447) contain evidence of the continuation of slavery-like practices in many countries of the world, including such abuses of human freedom ond dignity as the sale of children, the exploitation of child labour, debt bondage, cortain traditional practices affecting women, traffic in persons and the exploitation of the prostitution of others,

Noting that one of the conclusions in the report of the Secretary-General on apartheid as a collective form of slavery (E/UW.4/Sub.2/449) is that the apartheid system as a slavery-like practice ruts on the enforced exploitation and repression of black workers at cannot be reformed but must be totally eradicated,

Noting with appreciation that a number of governments have submitted comments and information to the Working Group on Slavery in reply to its reports and requests,
