Yesterday, a Declaration of the trafficking of enslaved Africans and Racialized Chattel Enslavement of Africans as the Gravest Crime against Humanity was voted at UNO. As usual, Israel and the USA voted against. How did your country vote? Any thoughts about it?

    Gravest crime against humanity is not the same as the most suffering caused. It is not just number of people that suffered either.

      So it’s about what? Can you explain? Because there’s no metric whatsoever that makes the chattel slavery the abhorrent behaviour with the most affected people, neither the longest one.

      So please explain me what does it mean the “gravest” in this context
