UN Vote on Slave Trade

The United Nations General Assembly has voted to recognise the slave trade as “the gravest crime against humanity”…

The resolution – proposed by Ghana – called for this designation, while also urging UN member states to consider apologising for the slave trade and contributing to a reparations fund. It does not mention a specific amount of money.

The proposal was adopted with 123 votes in favour and three against – the United States, Israel and Argentina.

Fifty-two countries abstained, including the United Kingdom and European Union member states.

Well, at least the EU abstained, that’s something. What an incredibly stupid organization UN is. We should stop funding it or participating in its lunacy in any way.
