UN General Assembly
2025

It is a struggle so that never again will the injustices of the past shape the inequalities of the present. It is for that reason that we call upon the United Nations now and for the sake of its own credibility, to classify the transatlantic trade, slave trade, colonization, slavery and deportation as not only crimes against humanity, but first and foremost, crimes of genocide against the peoples of Africa. Yes, it is a genocide, a genocide, a genocide. I thank you. Muchas gracias. I thank the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Togo. We have heard the last speaker in the general debate for this.
