Ghana’s UN Draft Resolution on transatlantic slave trade gains 100% support from Congressional Black Caucus
Ghana’s Foreign Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has announced that the Congressional Black Caucus has declared 100% support for Ghana’s UN Draft Resolution, declaring the transatlantic slave trade as the gravest crime against humanity.
The announcement was made during a meeting with the leadership of the Congressional Black Caucus in Washington, where Minister Ablakwa held strategic engagements on President Mahama’s impending historic UN Resolution.
“We clearly have an added momentum to our global campaign for reparatory justice,” Minister Ablakwa stated, expressing his delight at the endorsement from the Conscience of Congress.
The meeting also led to an agreement on a more structured and enduring collaboration between Ghana, the African Union, and the Congressional Black Caucus, aimed at seeking justice, restitution, and pursuing common interests.
Minister Ablakwa expressed gratitude to the Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, Honorable Yvette D. Clarke, and Congressman Gabe Felix Kofi Amo, among others, for their solidarity.
The UN Draft Resolution is expected to be presented on March 25, 2026, and Ghana is optimistic about making history with the support of the Congressional Black Caucus and other international partners.
The move is part of Ghana’s efforts to seek reparatory justice for the transatlantic slave trade, a legacy that has had a profound impact on the country and the African diaspora.
The support of the Congressional Black Caucus is seen as a significant boost to Ghana’s campaign, and Minister Ablakwa has thanked the caucus for their invaluable solidarity.
Ghana’s global campaign for reparatory justice is gaining momentum, and the country is working closely with international partners to ensure that the transatlantic slave trade is acknowledged as a crime against humanity.
