Would the slave be freed or still be enslaved? Just personal curiosity :)</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>You know, its silly. I should have an answer for this and feel that someone at some point must have asked me this question but I honestly don't recall it and right now I don't have an answer.<br/><br/>I don't think a free country should have the right to declare the slave free. It would be like taking away your gas-guzzling car if you imported it to a country that had extremely strict emissions and fuel consumption laws.<br/><br/>I suppose in the case of that car, you wouldn't import it.<br/><br/>It depends what the slave owner is doing in that country and how long they plan to stay. I can imagine that within the French embassy abroad (for example) slaves are present under diplomatic immunity agreements and they'd be sent over in (or 'as') diplomatic bags.<br/><br/>On the other hand, and on the basis of maintaining good relations, perhaps French embassies in free countries make a point of not having slave workers?<br/><br/>The private individual equivalent of that is that when conducting business or travelling to a free country, the slave owner leaves their slave behind.<br/><br/>Those thoughts sum up things the best I can right now - the short answer being "It depends on lots of things".<br/><br/>Its an interesting subject and one I welcome discussion on.
