Huge update from the UN today, Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama has secured a UN resolution declaring the slave trade (and it's lasting impacts) as one of the world's worst human rights abuses.
President Mahama stressed the importance of this resolution in the fight for reparations paid by the countries who profited from slavery.

UN Secretary-General António Guterre stated today:
“Now we must remove the persistent barriers that prevent so many people of African descent from exercising their rights and realising their potential,”

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
