Slave Trade Acts

The Slavery Abolition Act 1833 was repealed in its entirety.^[3][4] Despite this repeal, slavery remains illegal because the act only applied to the British Empire, slavery having already been illegal in Britain itself due to the effects of cases like Somerset v Stewart and Knight v Wedderburn. Sections of the Slave Trade Act 1824, Slave Trade Act 1843 and Slave Trade Act 1873 also remain in force, and the Human Rights Act 1998 incorporates into British law Article 4 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which prohibits holding people as slaves.^[5][6][7][8]
