servitude

According to the Explanatory Report accompanying the Council of Europe Convention (paragraph 95), “The ECHR (European Commission of Human Rights) bodies have defined ‘servitude’. The European Commission of Human Rights regarded it as having to live and work on another person’s property and perform certain services for them, whether paid or unpaid, together with being unable to alter one’s condition...Servitude is thus to be regarded as a particular form of slavery, differing from it less in character less than in degree. Although it constitutes a state or condition, and is a ‘particularly serious form of denial of freedom’…it does not have the ownership features characteristic of slavery”.
