The National Policy for the Elimination of Forced Labor expresses the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s commitment to eradicate all forms of forced labor. It reflects the Kingdom's commitment to this goal, as stipulated in Article 28 of the Basic Law of Governance issued by Royal Decree No. (1/90) dated 27/08/1412AH, which states “The state shall facilitate employment opportunities for every capable person and enact laws that protect both the employee and the employer.” In line with this commitment, several laws and regulations have been issued to safeguard rights, eliminate forced labor, and prohibit its practice.
