It also seems implausible to assume, at a time of global strife, that legislation, contractual clauses and worker action are going to be enough to end modern slavery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luz Nagle<\/a>, 2019-2020 Latin American Regional Forum Liaison Officer on the IBA Poverty and Social Development Committee and a professor of law at Stetson University [College of Law] in Florida, agrees and adds that the pandemic\u2019s impact has already been devastating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
