I have always believed that slavery
has been abolished until I saw this report from CNN. The United Nations has
report that an estimated 10% to 20% of the Mauritania people are enslaved.
Mauritania was the last country to abolished slavery in 1981 and has made it a
crime to own slaves in 1997. Even though slavery has been outlaw the practice still
exists in secret. The government of Mauritania knows that the practice of
slavery still exist in their country but does nothing to stop it. Not only are
these people force into slavery but they are also being abused by their master.
Slavery is now consider to be universally unethical as all countries have abolished
slavery. Why doesn’t the United Nations or the International Labor Organization
do something to stop this practices? Maybe with some help from everyone,
slavery can be abolished forever.
