Detailed explanation-1: -The First commission was set up quite early on in 1924.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Slavery Convention was the work of the Temporary Slave Commission, established by the League in 1924, which determined that slavery was widespread in many parts of the world and that its elimination could be aided by an international convention the provisions of which would be binding upon League member states.

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”.

Detailed explanation-4: -Haiti (then Saint-Domingue) formally declared independence from France in 1804 and became the first sovereign nation in the Western Hemisphere to unconditionally abolish slavery in the modern era.
