Financial sector compliance to address modern slavery and human trafficking : secretariat briefing paper 1 / James Cockayne and Julie Oppermann

This is the first of three Briefing Papers that the Secretariat will provide to the Financial Sector Commission on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking. The Briefing Papers are intended to provide a starting-point for Commissioners ahead of their deliberations. The aim is to provide a common base of information, and to point to issues Commissioners may wish to address and some of the solutions they may begin to consider. This first paper, available prior to the first meeting in New York on 20-21 September 2018, provides a basic introduction to the ways in which the financial sector encounters and relates to modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking, and considers the compliance issues raised for different actors in the sector. These include anti-money laundering and counterterrorist financing (AML/CFT) compliance concerns; and compliance with emerging anti-slavery supply chain transparency frameworks.
