The #TransatlanticSlaveTrade is the gravest crime against humanity – why the UN declaration matters

The resolution passed by #UnitedNations General Assembly on 25 March 2026 seeking recognition of the transatlantic slavery as “gravest crime against humanity” potentially creates a broader definition of crimes against humanity in international law and allows for restitution claims against perpetrators.

Why the UN declaration on the slave trade matters

Sabine Hiller 💔🇵🇸🇬🇱🇺🇦Mar 28

The histories of #enslavement, #displacement and organised #theft are foundational to the modern world - the #UNdeclaration "calls on all nations to recognise what happened, teach its history honestly, and remember the victims"

How utterly disturbing that @EUCommission @Bundesregierung refused to do so... #Europe continuing on its exploitative trajectory, no lessons learned 😭
