An exchange of money or other pecuniary benefit is not a necessary element of the crime of enslavement or sexual slavery. For example, the Nuremberg Tribunal characterized forced labour as enslavement and current case law recognizes rape and detention as sexual slavery. The Court's jurisdiction over slavery which is part of a widespread or systematic attack against a civilian population depends upon de-emphasizing the commercial exchange element and ensuring that forced labour and reducing a person to a servile status come within the scope of the crime. This would be inconsistent with the Statute, which requires only that the grounds be universally recognized, and not the rights. The definition of persecution in the Rome Statute is already more restrictive than international law which does not require that the acts constitute 'severe deprivations' of rights.
Further restrictions are unwarranted.
It should be deleted, allowing article 30 to govern.
