Detailed explanation-1: -The First commission was set up quite early on in 1924. Its main success was through pressing the governments who administered mandated countries to end slavery in those countries. The League secured a commitment from Ethiopia to end slavery as a condition of membership in 1926.
Detailed explanation-2: -Historically, there are many different types of slavery including chattel, bonded, forced labour and sexual slavery. The key characteristics of slavery are ones generally agreed such as the loss of freedom of movement and legal rights.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Slavery Convention sought to “complete and extend the work accomplished under the Brussels Act”, as it acknowledged the necessity to conclude “more detailed arrangements” to that end. Its objectives were two-fold: “the complete suppression” and “securing the abolition of slavery and the slave trade”.
