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?

It's possibly the fact that it specifies the enslavement of Africans too. I don't know much about this, but would that sound like it's minimising other countries experiences, or current slavery?

Edit: clarified a sentence
