Ghana wants the support of Commonwealth nations for a United Nations resolution. The resolution aims to recognize the transatlantic slave trade as the most significant crime against humanity.
This call was made by a government official during an engagement with Commonwealth representatives.
The official emphasized the importance of acknowledging the historical injustices and lasting impact of the slave trade.
Supporting this UN resolution would show a united global commitment to remembering this dark period in history.
Ghana believes that such recognition is crucial for healing and for preventing similar atrocities in the future.
The Commonwealth is a group of 56 member states, mostly former territories of the British Empire.
Ghana hopes this collective backing will strengthen the call for international recognition at the UN.
