UN member states voted for a draft resolution seeking to declare the transatlantic slave trade and racialised enslavement of Africans as the gravest crime against humanity.
The initiative, led by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, is scheduled for debate on March 25, coinciding with the International Day of Remembrance for Victims of the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
