'Abolitionism in the West ... inspired by writings of the Spanish monk Bartolome de las Casas and the School of Salamanca [1].'<blockquote>'Abolitionism in the West was preceded by the New Laws of the Indies in 1542, in which Emperor Charles V declared free all Native American slaves, abolishing slavery of these races, and declaring them citizens of the Empire with full rights. The move was inspired by writings of the Spanish monk Bartolome de las Casas and the School of Salamanca. Spanish settlers replaced the Native American slaves with enslaved laborers brought from Africa and thus did not abolish slavery altogether.
...
Today, child and adult slavery and forced labour are illegal in most countries, as well as being against international law.'
