the resolution was specifically condemning slavery as "the gravest crime against humanity." it was sponsored by ghana, whose president is pushing for reparations to africa. the western argument against the resolution was that because there was no international law during the trans-atlantic slave trade, international law wasn't broken and therefore reparations are not necessary or lawful lol
Like they care about international, let alone any, law lmao
well, they certainly care about it when it serves their interests! haha
By that logic, the white man's burden to impose the burden of lazy white parasites on people of colors and the civilization mission to rob and plagiarize the civilizations in other continents had no justification. It is also ironic how the white supremacists advocated for a mission to bring a rule of law internationally through enslavement and now claimed that the Europeans never had international rule of law at that time period. If international law had not existed at that time, then the European empires would never use rule of law as justification for their violent conquests.
