Four years ago, the first Global Report on forced labour drew attention to the gravity of the problems of forced labour in the modern world, with "ugly new faces" such as human traffi cking emerging alongside the older forms. Since then the ILO has sought to mobilize world opinion behind the goal of a fair globalization, in which people come first, with full respect for the core labour standards embodied in the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work adopted in 1998. Tackling forced labour head-on is one very practical way of contributing to achievement of this global goal.
