Yesterday, a Declaration of the trafficking of enslaved Africans and Racialized Chattel Enslavement of Africans as the Gravest Crime against Humanity was voted at UNO. As usual, Israel and the USA voted against. How did your country vote? Any thoughts about it?

because the wealth generated by those crimes is still extremely influential today.

and that "1 specific situation" was the industrialised destruction of culture, people, families and minds for centuries.

So, it's about influence on the current day? Silly me, to think the holocaust has more impact on the current world order than the slavery that finished in the 19th century.

and that “1 specific situation” was the industrialised destruction of culture, people, families and minds for centuries.

So it's about duration? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Saharan_slave_trade This lasted long, wouldn't this had more impact in the destruction of culture, people and minds?
