The UN wants powerful powers to pay reparations for colonialism and slavery


  The Secretary General of the United Nations has emphasized in his report that the powerful nations of the world must pay compensation due to the negative effects of colonialism and slavery of those countries in other nations. The Secretary General of the United Nations has emphasized in his report that the powerful nations of the world must pay compensation due to the negative effects of colonialism and slavery of those countries in other nations. Antonio Guterres, Secretary General of the United Nations has said in his report that: "The assessment of the economic losses caused by the historical wrongs and injuries caused by colonialism and slavery can be very difficult due to the passage of time, as well as the difficulty of identifying the perpetrators and victims." Guterres has emphasized the importance of all countries to implement their commitments to deal with the effects of slavery that continue to affect humanity. The report of the Secretary General of the United Nations has added that: Until now, no country has been fully held accountable for its actions and actions in brutally displacing 25 to 30 million people from Africa.

Millions of Africans were sold as slaves by Western powers. In the report, Guterres has recommended that countries in other countries consider other measures to address the negative effects of slavery and colonialism, including public apologies, medical and psychological rehabilitation, and ensuring that evil is not remembered. In July this year, the European Union stressed the need for reparations for what it said were "crimes against humanity", insisting that the white record in the slave trade had caused "unspeakable suffering" for millions of people. It should be noted that, for more than several decades, countries and activists in Africa and the Caribbean have been calling for the accountability of countries involved in slavery and colonialism in those countries.
