Provisions related to slavery are found in the Criminal Code at chapter 25, section 3(a)(2) which criminalises enslaving another person, transporting or trading in slaves as aggravated trafficking in human beings ‘if the act is aggravated when assessed as whole.’
There appears to be no legislation in place in Finland which prohibits institutions and practices similar to slavery.
Provisions related to servitude are found in the Criminal Code at chapter 25, section 3(a)(2) which criminalises keeping a person in servitude as aggravated trafficking in human beings ‘if the act is aggravated when assessed as whole.’
There appears to be no legislation in place in Finland which prohibits forced labour, although forced labour may constitute an element of the offence of trafficking in persons under chapter 25, section 3 of the Criminal Code.
Provisions related to trafficking in persons are found in the Criminal Code at chapter 25, sections 3 and 3(a).
