Abstract:

This article focuses on studying and clarifying legal issues related to commitment to eliminate forced labour under new-generation free trade agreements (FTAs), among which Vietnam is a member, especially the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans- Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), the European- Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) and Vietnam –Eurasian Economic Union Free Trade Agreement (VN-EAEU FTA). Particularly, the paper also focuses on analyzing, evaluating as well as commenting the similarities and differences between Vietnam labour legal systems and these FTAs on elimination of forced labour, and thus supposes some suggestions for the effective implementation of this commitment.
