A group of domestic workers employed by foreign diplomats living in the U.S. have filed a petition with an international commission claiming exploitation and abuse. The workers say they were forced into slave-like conditions in the homes of diplomats from countries including Bolivia, Bangladesh and Kuwait. Their allegations include extreme wage and hour violations, virtual imprisonment in the homes of their employers, and physical and emotional abuse. The American Civil Liberties Union says it brought the case to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights because the diplomats are granted immunity under U.S. law. The petition accuses the U.S. of violating international treaties by failing to ensure immunized diplomats are barred from abusing human rights.
