Ghana has asked Commonwealth nations for their support. They want help to pass a resolution at the United Nations.
The proposed resolution aims to recognize the transatlantic slave trade. It would officially declare it the greatest crime against humanity.
A named official from Ghana made this appeal during a meeting.
This is part of Ghana's ongoing efforts to ensure historical injustices are formally acknowledged.
The proposed resolution seeks to bring international attention and condemnation to this dark period in history.
Support from Commonwealth nations is seen as crucial for the resolution's passage at the UN.
Ghana hopes this will lead to further global efforts to address the lasting impacts of the slave trade.
