U.S. Votes Against Recognizing Slavery as a Crime Against Humanity The UN passed a resolution recognizing the transatlantic slave trade as a crime against humanity, backed by 123 countries. The US, Israel & Argentina were the only nations to vote against it, in opposition to a global consensus. The resolution also strengthens the push for reparations tied to the lasting impact of slavery.

U.S. Votes Against Recognizing Slavery as a Crime Against Humanity as Reparations Fight Grows

I fully agree. Unfortunately, unless the UN has a mechanism for imposing meaningful sanctions on Western nations that profited from the African Slave Trade I don’t think anything meaningful will come from this. I can think of one nation in particular that will never accept any responsibility for its crimes…

UN calls for reparations to remedy 'historical wrongs' of slavery

The U.N. General Assembly has adopted a resolution declaring the trafficking of enslaved Africans “the gravest crime against humanity” and calling for reparations as “a concrete step towards remedying historical wrongs.” The resolution also urges “the prompt and unhindered restitution” of cultural items to their countries of origin without charge. This includes artworks, monuments, museum pieces, documents and national archives. Wednesday's vote in the 193-member world body was 123-3, with 52 abstentions. Argentina, Israel and the United States were the three members voting against the resolution. The United Kingdom and the 27 members of the European Union were among those that abstained.

It’s clear now: Reparations must be accomplished on a city-by-city basis because states and the feds are never going to do it.
