The United Nations has warned that any parties participating in the buying or selling of the schoolgirls could face prosecution under international law. “We warn the perpetrators that there is an absolute prohibition against slavery and sexual slavery in international law,” said UN rights spokesperson Rupert Colville. “So just because they think they are safe now, they won’t necessarily be in two years, five years or 10 years’ time,” he told a news briefing in Geneva.
