Provisions related to slavery are found in the Constitution at article 19(2) which declares that ‘in Chile there are no slaves, and any that sets foot on its territory will become free’. Slavery may also form an element of trafficking in persons, criminalised under article 411 quater of the Penal Code. 
There appears to be no legislation in place in Chile which prohibits institutions and practices similar to slavery, although institutions and practices similar to slavery may form elements of trafficking in persons, criminalised under article 411 quater of the Penal Code.
There appears to be no legislation in place in Chile which prohibits servitude, although servitude may form an element of trafficking in persons, criminalised under article 411 quater of the Penal Code.
There appears to be no legislation in place in Chile which specifically prohibits forced labour, although the Constitution affirms that right to freely contract and to free choice of work with just retribution. Forced labour when committed as an element of trafficking in persons is also criminalised under article 411 quater of the Penal Code.
Provisions related to trafficking in persons are found in the Penal Code at article 411 Quarter which prohibits trafficking in persons although acts of recruitment and transfer are not included in the provision.
