This disclosure contains a draft media release announcing Australia's ratification of the ILO Protocol of 2014 to the Forced Labour Convention 1930, approved by the Federal Executive Council on 31 March 2022. The ratification reflects Australia's commitment to combating modern slavery through preventing and suppressing forced labour, protecting victims, and penalising perpetrators. The government positioned the move as building on existing domestic measures including the Modern Slavery Act 2018 and the National Action Plan to Combat Modern Slavery 2020-25. The release notes that approximately 25 million people globally experience forced labour, with significant numbers in the Asia-Pacific region, predominantly women and girls. The announcement emphasises Australia's zero-tolerance stance toward modern slavery both domestically and internationally. Internal editorial comments suggest refinements to clarify the Protocol's domestic application and improve narrative flow between sections addressing national and international dimensions.
