African Cocoa Picked By Indentured Child Labor
Imported Into This Country, United States Customs
Service Breaks America Trade Law with Terry Collingsworth, Director of the International Labor Rights Fund

The International Labor Rights Fund has filed suit
against the U.S. Customs Service for breaking American trade law and allowing African cocoa picked by indentured child labor to be imported into this country. The International Labor Rights Fund has grown impatient with the Customs Service for failing
to investigate accusations that cocoa plantations in Ivory Coast use slave or indentured child labor. Cocoa beans are purchased by large international food firms like Nestle, Cargill and Archer Daniels Midland Company.
