Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama made news calling for the United Nations General Assembly to recognise the slave trade as a gross crime against humanity. The eventual vote was 123 to adopt, 52 to abstain, and 3 to oppose. The three were the United States, Israel, and Argentina that are currently led by such New Right champions as Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Javier Milei.
The idea of terming the slave trade as an international issue had repeatedly featured in prominent conferences. In the conference at Algiers in November 2025 on the Crime of Slavery and Colonialism, for instance, participants petitioned AU authorities to pursue 'reparations' for the crimes of the slave trade and colonialism. Mahama became the face of the reparation campaign.
