The General Assembly adopted a declaration recognizing the transatlantic slave trade and racialized chattel enslavement of Africans as the gravest crime against humanity. Ghana led the initiative; the vote was 123 in favor, 3 against and 52 abstentions. This is a major political and normative statement, but not a criminal conviction or automatic compensation order.
