The United Nations passed a resolution recognizing the transatlantic slave trade as a crime against humanity, backed by 123 countries. The United States was one of only three nations to vote against it, placing it in direct opposition to a global consensus. The resolution also strengthens the push for reparations tied to the lasting impact of slavery.
