General News of Sunday, 15 February 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comGhana's President John Dramani Mahama has announced plans to table a resolution at the United Nations General Assembly in March 2026, seeking global recognition of the Transatlantic Slave Trade as the gravest crime against humanity. President Mahama revealed that the process was initiated following his address at the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly in September last year, where he signalled Ghana’s renewed commitment to the global reparations agenda. According to President Mahama, significant steps have already been taken, including the establishment of an AU Coordination Team and a Committee of Experts on Reparations. Additionally, engagements have also been held with major global institutions such as the United Nations and UNESCO, alongside high-level discussions across four continents. President Mahama further called on AU Member States to strengthen national institutions, establish reparations commissions, and intensify diplomatic efforts to secure formal apologies, restitution, and binding agreements from responsible states.
