The United Nations General Assembly has voted to formally recognize the transatlantic slave trade as the “gravest crime against humanity.”
The resolution — backed by more than 120 countries — highlights the scale, duration, and lasting global impact of slavery, including its role in shaping modern inequality and systemic racism. It also calls for renewed conversations around justice, reconciliation, and potential reparations.
However, the vote was not unanimous.
Countries including the United States, Argentina, and Israel voted against the measure, while others — including the United Kingdom and many European nations — abstained, raising concerns about how history is interpreted and whether ranking atrocities creates a “hierarchy of suffering.”
The resolution is non-binding, but supporters say it marks a significant symbolic step in acknowledging the full historical impact of slavery — and its consequences that are still felt today.The United Nations General Assembly has voted to formally recognize the transatlantic slave trade as the “gravest crime against humanity.” The resolution — backed by more than 120 countries — highlights the scale, duration, and lasting global impact of slavery, including its role in shaping modern inequality and systemic racism.

Epstein victim Maria Farmer reported to the FBI in 1996 that Epstein had photos of young girls and she had witnessed what was happening inside his mansion.
The FBI logged her complaint on September 3rd, 1996.
No case was opened. No investigation followed.
For nearly 30 years, the file was assumed lost.
In 2025, it resurfaced under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
Nine years after her warning, investigators uncovered dozens of victims.
Now Maria and 11 other women are suing the FBI for $100 million.
They argue those early warnings were not acted upon and that the failure to investigate allowed the abuse to continue.
The complaint was real. The questions around why it was never pursued remain unanswered.Epstein victim Maria Farmer reported to the FBI in 1996 that Epstein had photos of young girls and she had witnessed what was happening inside his mansion.

Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif is criticizing the evolving aims of the U.S.–led campaign against Iran, saying it now appears focused on “reopening the Strait of Hormuz” — a shipping route that was operational before the conflict began.
Asif’s comment reflects growing international frustration over how the Iran war has disrupted global energy and trade, including the strategic Hormuz chokepoint through which a significant portion of the world’s oil transits. The remark comes amid regional debate about whether military action or diplomacy should be the priority as tensions continue.Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif is criticizing the evolving aims of the U.S.–led campaign against Iran, saying it now appears focused on “reopening the Strait of Hormuz” — a shipping route that was operational before the conflict began.
