讲座摘要
SUMMARY -
国际法学界对禁止人口贩卖国际规则的历史研究依然不够充分。该讲座将对1921年《禁止贩卖妇孺国际公约》的缔结过程进行考察。结合从国际联盟档案馆检索到的一份机密文件夹里面的内容，讲座将还原在国际联盟时期一个国联成员国和一位国联高级官员之间的一场合谋，他们意图将禁止贩卖白人奴隶的国际规则制定主导权从法国转到国联机制之内。国联是有史以来第一个具有普遍性的政府间国际组织，这些人试图利用国联成立之初缺乏“标准程序规则”的情况来实现他们的共谋目标。有趣的是，这个合谋并没有被其他成员国忽视，当时有超过40%的国家在1921年《禁止贩卖妇孺国际公约》的投票中弃权，国联的一致同意表决规则也同时遭到了考验。
The historical evolution of the international framework of what is called today human trafficking is littered with imposture. In his presentation, Prof. Allain will examine but one such episode: the establishment of the 1921 International Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Women and Children. Considering the content of a confidential folder retrieved from the League of Nations Archives, he will set out the collusion which transpired between a Members State and a League senior employee to wrestle the “white slave traffic” framework away from France so that it might be housed within the League’s apparatus. Taking advantage of an international order in formation – the result of the League being the first ever inter-governmental organisation which aspired to universal membership – the individuals in question used the lack of “standard operating procedures” in the very early years of the League to achieve their aims. Rather interestingly, these machinations did not go unnoticed, as the League’s unanimity rule was put to the test when more than forty percent of States abstained from voting to adopt the 1921 Convention.
