contents Study on judgments related to human trafficking and foreign employment in Nepal: from the perspective of forced labour There are specific legal provisions in various Acts which deal with forced labour in Nepal such as: the Bonded Labour (Prohibition) Act, 2002, the Labour Act, 2017 and the Muluki Criminal Code, 2017. Those laws criminalize the offence of forced labour and provide remedy to the victims who suffer from the forced labour offence. Institutional mechanisms have been mandated for investigating, prosecuting, and adjudicating forced labour cases. The study also reveals that in the cases of human trafficking, all the defendants have been convicted for human trafficking offenses, but it was found that there was a delay in justice delivery in the reviewed cases and the forced labour issue was not adequately addressed by the Supreme Court judgments. The study suggests initiating legislative, institutional, administrative, financial, and social measures to investigate, prosecute, and adjudicate forced labour cases.
