UN votes to recognise enslavement of Africans as 'gravest crime against humanity'
The landmark resolution calls for an apology and contributions to a reparations fund, without specifying an amount.
Of course, 🇮🇱 🇺🇸 🇦🇷 voted no against this resolution, but a big group of 52 countries also abstained, mostly from 🇪🇺 (and yes, that includes 🇳🇱 as well). So much for showing remorse and turning a blind eye against their own history. 🤦🏽♂️ 🤦🏽
