Unique report discussing modern slavery in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Buraimi and the Gulf Principalities, Syria, and Lebanon. It indicates about half a million slaves living in Saudi Arabia alone, deeming the 1936 law regulating slavery basically ineffective. The report draws on the June 1960 issue of "The Anti-Slavery Reporter", published by the Anti-Slavery Society for the Protection of Human Rights, London, as well as other newspapers including the New Statesman, News of the World, Cairo daily and The Economist.
