"UNITED NATIONS (
AP) — The U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday adopted a
resolution declaring the trafficking of enslaved Africans “the gravest crime
against humanity” and calling for reparations as “a concrete step towards
remedying historical wrongs.”
The resolution also urges “the prompt and unhindered restitution” of cultural
items — including artworks, monuments, museum pieces, documents and national
archives — to their countries of origin without charge.
The vote in the 193-member world body was 123-3, with 52 abstentions.
Argentina, Israel and the United States were the three members voting against
the resolution. The United Kingdom and all 27 members of the European Union
were among those that abstained."
