摘要现代国际法对奴隶制的含义没有明确的认识。虽然人们普遍认为，1926年《禁奴公约》第一条提供了奴隶制的权威定义，但近来对奴隶制的理解多种多样，实际上这是一个毫无意义的术语。本文对这一解释问题进行了反思，旨在通过重新认识法律的定义的核心含义来纠正这种平衡。它运用财产法的观点来解释第一条所援引的所有权概念，论证它仍然具有相关性，并探讨如何将其应用于确定现代奴隶制案件。
Abstract Currently there is no clear understanding of the meaning of ‘slavery’ in modern international law. While generally it is accepted that the authoritative definition of slavery is provided by Article 1 of the Slavery Convention 1926, in recent times slavery has been understood in such a wide variety of ways that effectively it is a meaningless term. This paper reflects on this interpretation problem and aims to redress this balance by reclaiming the core meaning of the legal definition. It applies property law perspectives to explain the conception of ownership invoked by Article 1, to argue that it remains relevant and to explore how it might be applied in identifying modern cases of slavery.
