Abstract
The passage of Forced Labour Convention in 1930 was supposed to signify the end of forced labor for private interests and the curtailment of government forced labor, with abolition to follow in the future. However, the inclusion of certain exemptions to the Convention ensured that coercive labor practices, like communal labor, would continue after the Convention. This chapter examines the historical factors that led to the promulgation of the Forced Labour Convention and the debates that led to the retention of the exemptions during the ILO conference. It then turns to analyze the practical impact that the passage of the Forced Labor Convention had in Kenya Colony on the use of various types of forced labor practices.
