Article 3 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights states “Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.”
Article 4 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights states “No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.”
Slavery and imprisonment are the opposite of liberty. However, while imprisonment is used as a lawful consequence for causing harm in violation of rights or law, slavery is never acceptable.
The collection of rights and liberties described in these forums preclude the possibility of slavery in a society that adopts those rights and liberties. However, legislature should still enact laws that specifically prohibit and sets punishments for slavery and human trafficking.
A listing of some of the rights that together preclude the possibility of slavery:
* Right to travel
* Right to equal opportunity
* Right to fair trial
* Right to property
* Right to petition
* Right to peaceful assembly
* Right to defense
* Right to honest and peaceful speech
* Right to dignity
* Right to parental control
