Temporary Slavery Commission

Lord Lugard

The Temporary Slavery Commission (TSC) was a committee of the League of Nations, inaugurated in 1924.

It was the first committee of the League of Nations to address the issue of slavery and slave trade, and followed on the Brussels Anti-Slavery Conference 1889–90.

The TSC conducted a global investigation concerning slavery, slave trade and forced labor, and recommended solutions to address the issues. Its work lay the ground for the 1926 Slavery Convention and influenced the modern definition of slavery and human exploitation.[1]
