International Day for the Abolition of Slavery

The International Day for the Abolition of Slavery, December 2, recalls the date of the adoption, by the General Assembly, of the United Nations Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Persons and of the Exploitation of the Prostitution of Others (resolution 317 (IV) of 2 December 1949). Needless to say, this was a monumental event in human history.
