Le Nazioni Unite hanno votato a favore del riconoscimento della tratta degli schiavi come “il più grave crimine contro l’umanità” e hanno anche chiesto risarcimenti ai paesi colpiti. Gli unici paesi a votare contro sono stati Stati Uniti, Israele e Argentina che si sono opposti alla proposta

Classic Martin, can’t go against his overlords
Why do we keep allowing US companies set up shop here.
What was the argument?
I think tiering crimes against humans is asking for philosophical dilemmas imo
Oddly specific to call only certain instances of slavery the gravest crime against humanity. Also pretty weird to be ranking crimes against humanity
Lol at the UAE voting yes
There are countries that literally practice modern slavery on the yes list.
Ghana wants money. For human rights violations. They who are literally dragging a new draconian LGBT law through parliament as we speak. Will they someday be paying reparations in turn? Will they fuck.
Stupid social media bait. Israel voted no to the “gravest” crime against humanity part, given they have their own grave crime against humanity that’s pretty culturally sensitive. While the Unites States are the most legally exposed by acknowledging the explicit call for reparations for chattel slavery. The declaration was opaque, legally ambiguous and problematic by claiming slavery out-ranks all other crimes against humanity, many of which are politically and culturally sensitive for individual countries.
I assume it the reparations bit that’s spooked the abstainers. All EU members abstained; I would imagine having members be mandated to provide reparations for slavery in accordance with international law, may negatively affect their position on the importance of international law in cases like Russia. Abstention is easiest way out.
In the US (and probably Argentina too) reparations for slavery have been floating around and in Trump’s America considered “woke.” Israel, well, take a guess as to why they might be against strengthening international law.
As did 51 other countries including Sweden, Norway, New Zealand and Australia.
What point are you making?
It’s weird to rank crimes.
It’s weird to recognize only the slave trade, presumably only that that happened during the discoveries time and after as the gravest crime (slavery and slave trading was happening for CENTURIES before that)
It’s weird for people that didn’t do it to pay reparations to people that never suffered it.
Yes slavery was and is shitty, but those times are in the humanity’s past, leave it there. Remember, talk about it and all, but no further action is required.
