The Liechtenstein Initiative
Human trafficking and modern
slavery are crimes that are
prohibited across the world.
Yet slavery is all around us, in
every region of the globe. In
fact, there are over 40 million
men, women and children living
in modern slavery – which
amounts to 1 in every 185
people on the planet.
Despite a wide range of international
and domestic legal
regimes banning such practices,
it is clear that these are not
always complied with. The reason
for this is as simple as it is
devastating: human trafficking
is highly lucrative. Around USD
150 billion is generated
from such exploitation
every year. From
food, clothing and other
things of everyday life, this
indirectly affects Liechtenstein’s
population, too.
Innovation is generating
new possibilities
Through the use of new
technology and data
streams, new options
have emerged
that will allow
international
communities and businesses to
better identify these risks on a
global scale.
In September 2015, Liechtenstein
adopted the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs)
together with 193 countries
at the United Nations General
Assembly. Target 8.7 of these
goals commits countries to
«take immediate and effective
measures to eradicate forced
labour, end modern slavery and
human trafficking and secure
the prohibition and
elimination of the worst forms
of child labour». The Government
of Liechtenstein, in wanting
to offer its expertise as a
financial centre to help find
a lasting solution, went even
further in considering how
to address these crimes. The
«Liechtenstein Initiative for
Finance Against Slavery and
Trafficking» aims to put the
financial sector at the heart
of global efforts to address
modern slavery and human
trafficking.

Problem
The prohibition of slavery is
one of the strongest norms in
international law today. At the
international level, the ban on
slavery is found in different
forms in international human
rights, humanitarian, criminal
and labour laws.
From there, the norm has
cascaded down into specialized
legal provisions within the
vast majority of countries. The
term modern slavery includes
various forms
of exploitation such
as labour trafficking
and forced labour,
commercial sexual
exploitation and
debt bondage.

These forms
of exploitation
can include
threats
of violence
and the use
of either force
or the misuse of
power to take control
and exploit a person.

The global financial sector has
recognized its responsibility
to respect human rights and to
help fight modern slavery and
human trafficking in the businesses
they finance. Because
its institutions are so
intertwined with
the global economy,
it has a unique
opportunity to
lead the transformation
of our
economies to exclude
modern
slavery and
human
trafficking
risks.

Structure
The «Liechtenstein Initiative»
builds on work undertaken by
United Nations University and
the Permanent Mission of
Liechtenstein to the United
Nations in New York.
The final report of this earlier
work, «25 Keys to Unlock the
Financial Chains», identified
the need for the global financial
sector to drive forward knowledge
and action. Following the
call of the G7, the G20, the UN
General Assembly and the Security
Council to partner with the
private sector in tackling these
crimes, the Initiative’s Financial
Sector Commission on Modern
Slavery and Human Trafficking
was formed.
Combined forces and expertise
The Commission was a
public-private partnership
between the Governments
of Liechtenstein, Australia
and the Netherlands, as
well as Liechtenstein
foundations
and private
sector institutions
(see
illustration
above) and
Bankers
LGT Group
Association
United
Nations
University
Centre for Policy
Research, acting as
its Secretariat. The Commission
comprised a broad spectrum of
the financial sector actors and
stakeholders which are crucial in
the fight against modern slavery
and human trafficking. It included
survivors of human trafficking
and child slavery; leaders from
hedge funds, commercial and
retail banks; institutional

investors; development financing
organisations; global trade
unions; global regulators; UN
mandate-holders and leaders in
the fight against modern slavery
and human trafficking.
The Commission was convened by
the Prime Minister of the Principality
of Liechtenstein, with three
Co-convenors: the Foreign
Minister of Australia, the
Foreign Minister of the
Netherlands and microcredit
pioneer and Nobel
Laureate Professor
Muhammad Yunus.

The Commission was convened
from September 2018 to September
2019. Over their one-year
mandate, all 25 Commissioners
contributed their expertise on a
voluntary, unpaid basis.
Discover more about the four consultations
The Commission held four consultations
– in the United States,
Liechtenstein, Australia and the
Netherlands – to consider different
ways the financial sector can
accelerate its engagement in addressing
and preventing modern
slavery and human trafficking:
from compliance and regulatory
regimes, to responsible lending
and investment, remedy, financial
inclusion, financial technology and
international cooperation.
Altogether, more than 40
experts from around the
world briefed the Com-
The Commission
mission on research, programmes
and initiatives. These consultations
were informed by Secretariat-produced
briefing papers
to frame the discussions. Six
Commission-led work streams
operated between the consultations.
Finance Against Slavery and
Trafficking
During the 74th Session of the
United Nations General Assembly
in New York, the Commission released
its final report, «Unlocking
Potential: A Blueprint for Mobilizing
Finance Against Slavery
and Trafficking». The Blueprint
includes concrete tools for finance
sector institutions to use
and initiatives they
can participate in to address
modern slavery and human
trafficking.
Launch of the Blueprint
With the launch of the Blueprint,
the Commission completed its
mandate. However, the «Liechtenstein
Initiative for a Financial
Sector Commission on Modern
Slavery and Human Trafficking»
continues in the form of «Liechtenstein
Initiative for Finance
Against Slavery and Trafficking»
(FAST) which will provide guidance
to those implementing the
Blueprint.
Fully implemented, the Blueprint
has the power to unlock enormous
potential – for the millions
of people whose exploitation
and financial exclusion
locks them out
of full participation
in global society. An
implementation review
conference will be
held in 2021. It
will consider
progress
and share
learning
about new
opportunities.

Goals and tools
The Blueprint of the «FAST
Initiative» outlines several
Goals to mobilize the sector
against modern slavery and
human trafficking.
The «FAST Initiative» has identified
five Goals towards which
financial sector actors can
work through individual
and collective action.
Each Goal is accompanied
by three ‹Act Now ›
measures for immediate
action, and three
‹Initiate › actions to be
implemented over a
longer course of time.
The Goals are: compliance
with laws,
knowing and
showing risks, the
creative use of
leverage, providing
and
enabling
effective
remedy and investments in
innovation for prevention. To
meet these Goals, the Blueprint
also includes an Implementation
Toolkit that helps financial
sector institutions take action.
Providing tools for the fight
against modern slavery
The first tool offers a simple
introductory workflow for
financial sector actors wanting
to identify modern slavery and
human trafficking in their own
operations or business relationships.
The Connection Diagnostic
Tool offers an interactive
self-diagnostic website that
helps actors understand identified
connections to modern
slavery and human trafficking.
The Financial Investigation
Tool provides guidance on good
practice in conducting financial
investigations into modern
slavery and human trafficking,
and the Leverage Typology
Matrix helps financial sector
actors understand what creative
use of leverage may look
like. The fifth and sixth
tools are initiatives:
The Survivor
Inclusion Initiative
helps victims find safe
and reliable access to basic
financial products and services,
and the Vulnerable Populations
Initiative seeks to better
understand how increased
financial inclusion and digital
innovation can help prevent
modern slavery and human
trafficking for highly vulnerable
populations.
Correction of market failure
Implementation of the initiative's
Blueprint will in time
lead to a stronger connection
between an enterprise’s behaviour
and its costs of capital.
That connection will naturally
move global markets away
from modern slavery and human
trafficking and encourage
capital allocation to enterprises
that helps reduce modern slavery
and human trafficking risks.
Moreover, this will help address
the ongoing market failure
and denial of human
rights and accelerate
progress towards
the SDGs.
