Recorded findings

• Nepal has ratified key ILO conventions on forced labour, indigenous rights, and child labour. Its Interim Constitution bans slavery/serfdom and commits to land and social security for bonded labourers. The 2002 Act freed kamaiyas, voided their debts, and set penalties and rehabilitation support. In 2008, the government announced abolition of the haliya system, but implementation details remained pending.
