On page 9 of the article reference was made to the UN 1949 Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Persons and of the Exploitation of the Prostitution of Others when in fact Kestenbaum, and Legg were respectively discussing the League of Nations International Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Women and Children of 1921. I would like to apologize for this error, and ask that the sentence, ‘This also appears to be the dominant assumption in the existing literature, with scholars like Kestenbaum and Legg arguing that the 1949 Convention is ‘racially neutral’ and has therefore ‘de-racialis[ed] the “white slave trade” rhetoric’, be omitted from the text of the main article.
