While the slavery UN resolution passed by a healthy 123 in for it, 3 against and 52 abstaining.

The three actively against were Israel, Argentina and the US.

The 52 abstain was made up primarily of the European block with a notable supporter of reparations, Ukraine, not having much to say on this clear and present need for reparations.

The "rules based order" at work I guess

“Now we must remove the persistent barriers that prevent so many people of African descent from exercising their rights and realising their potential,”
