Ghana’s president calls for UN recognition of the transatlantic slave trade as a crime against humanity and demands reparative justice.
President John Dramani Mahama of Ghana called the transatlantic slave trade the greatest crime against humanity during his UN General Assembly address on September 25, 2025, announcing Ghana’s plan to lead a UN motion recognizing it as such.
He highlighted the forced displacement of over 12.5 million Africans, the theft of resources, and the looting of cultural artifacts, stressing that descendants of enslaved people have not received reparations while former slave owners were compensated.
Mahama urged global action on reparative justice, Africa’s sovereignty over resources, a permanent UN Security Council seat for the continent, and an end to the Gaza conflict, emphasizing multilateralism and women’s empowerment.
