UN adopts Ghana's slavery resolution, defying resistance from US, Europe - Reuters

The United Nations has adopted a slavery resolution sponsored by Ghana despite opposition from the United States and European nations. The resolution addresses historical and contemporary slavery issues, with the US and European countries raising objections during the vote. Ghana's initiative gained sufficient support among UN member states to pass despite the resistance from Western powers. The vote reflects a broader divide at the UN between developing nations seeking accountability for historical injustices and developed Western nations that opposed the measure's framing or scope. The adoption signals Ghana's diplomatic victory on an issue central to many African nations' foreign policy priorities.
