Which laws will countries use to curb forced labor?

Reports of forced labor in China's Xinjiang province have put lawmakers on alert. In June 2022, the USA banned all imports of products that have been wholly or partially extracted or manufactured in Xinjiang. In September, the European Commission proposed a ban on forced labor products.
