Mauritania was the last country in the world to officially abolish slavery in 1981. However, despite its legal status, international organizations accuse the country of perpetuating caste-based slavery.
Legal and development work
- Abolition (1981): Slavery was declared illegal by presidential decree, but there was no swift punishment for violators.
- Prosecution (2007): A law is passed to prosecute slave owners.
-Crimes Against Humanity (2015): Laws tightened, increased imprisonment to 20 years, and made slavery a crime against humanity.
