Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ghana addresses the press.
In a historic moment at the United Nations, the international community has adopted a landmark resolution recognising the trafficking and enslavement of Africans as one of the gravest crimes against humanity.
Led by Ghana and supported by 123 member states, this powerful resolution marks a turning point in global acknowledgement, remembrance, and the ongoing pursuit of reparatory justice.
This speech highlights:
• The significance of Resolution A-80-L-48
• Why this moment matters for Africa and the global diaspora
• The call for truth, education, and healing
• The global response, including abstentions and opposition
• The future of reparatory justice and international cooperation
With leadership from John Dramani Mahama and support from global organisations like the NAACP and the Congressional Black Caucus, this resolution sends a clear message: justice, though delayed, will not be denied.
It is a defining step toward a more just and equitable future.
USA, Israel and Argentina voted against the resolution while 50 other countries including Great Britain abstained.
