Challenges and lessons in combating contemporary forms of slavery 2013, para. 35
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Even if prosecutors are able to successfully prosecute cases, penalties and fines are often too low to be dissuasive. For example, in Morocco, employers found guilty of using forced labour are subject to fines of approximately USD 3,000-3,500 for a first offence and double for a subsequent offence, along with a jail sentence of 6-90 days. However, these sanctions are not sufficiently dissuasive.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
