Hi..
It is find that employees (even admn and mgt employee) working at Free zone of UAE need to surrender the passport.
But
it is find that (even from UAE govt notification) passport need to be surrendered; and this amts to forciful labour.
Please advise any such international law available to detain the passport on non-judicial ground (ie contract of employment)
In all such cases, how an employee can exercise h/his right to get back the passport.

Contract is mutually agreed agreement and if both are ready to abide it which includes the surrender of passport of employee then nothing can be done otherwise there is no international law forcing to surrender passport while getting job or become agree over this term.
