Abstract

Slavery has taken on added significance in the twenty-first century as a result of its inclusion in the Statute of the International Criminal Court and it being a component part of the 2001 UN and 2005 Council of Europe conventions against trafficking. With limited and conflicting case-law on the issue, the compiling of the Travaux Préparatoires of the 1926 League of Nations and the 1956 United Nations conventions become essential in seeking to holding States or individuals responsible for violations of international law touching on slavery. The Travaux Préparatoires of the slavery conventions provide insights into the definitions of slavery, the slave trade, and various types of servile statuses while revealing information regarding the various obligations that States have undertaken to suppress the various manifestations of human exploitation.

Abstract

Liberata was a real-life character. Slave, then free, mother as a slave and mother already released, finally defunct, all in the first half of the 19th century. In this book, Liberata is almost fiction, or rather, an author of fiction. She proposes the enigma of her life, as recorded in the centenary documents kept by the National Archives in Rio de Janeiro, and she guides the investigator through the labyrinths of interpretation and evidence that will allow to decipher the enigma itself.

Abstract

Vollum analyzes the content of the last statements of the condemned and statements made by co-victims; he seek to ""give voice"" to these two different groups. Vollum finds that the most dominant themes among the condemned center around transformation, redemption, and positive messages of connection to others. The most dominant themes of co-victims are more conflicting with a mix of frustration with the death penalty process, relief that it is over, and the desire for justice or revenge. Through their own words, we learn that the death penalty is neither a soothing salve for the pain and suffering
