President John Dramani Mahama has announced Ghana's intention to submit a motion to the United Nations. The motion seeks to formally declare slavery as the gravest crime against humanity.

This move marks a significant step in Ghana's diplomatic efforts on the international stage. The President did not provide a specific date for the submission.

The announcement was made in relation to Ghana's historical experience with slavery. The nation aims to ensure such atrocities are universally recognized and condemned.

Ghana hopes this declaration will lead to greater accountability and prevent future human rights abuses.
