The Slavery Convention of 1926 refined the definition of slavery and is associated with which international effort?

• A. Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948
• B. Supplementary Convention 1956
• C. Slavery Convention 1926
• D. Geneva Conventions 1949

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is how nations came together to abolish slavery through binding international law. The Slavery Convention of 1926 was a landmark treaty that defined slavery and required states to prohibit and suppress it and the slave trade, creating a coordinated, global legal framework for eradicating these practices. It represents the international effort to move from moral condemnation to concrete legal action that all signatories must uphold. Later instruments, like the 1956 Supplementary Convention, built on this foundation by extending the scope to other practices similar to slavery, but the 1926 convention itself is the key link to that worldwide abolition drive. The other options relate to human rights broadly or to humanitarian law, but they’re not the same specific abolition effort the question points to.
