Ghana has taken a major step forward in its campaign for reparatory justice, with the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) in the United States pledging full support for the country’s upcoming United Nations resolution condemning the transatlantic slave trade as the gravest crime against humanity.
Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Ghana’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, made the announcement following high-level strategic meetings in Washington, D.C., highlighting the Caucus’ endorsement as a “powerful affirmation” of Ghana’s global advocacy efforts.
The resolution, spearheaded by President John Dramani Mahama, is set for presentation at the UN on March 25, 2026.
During the discussions, Ablakwa revealed that Ghana, the African Union, and the CBC had agreed to a more structured and lasting partnership aimed at coordinating international efforts for justice, restitution, and common African diaspora interests.
The Foreign Minister expressed gratitude to CBC Chair Yvette D. Clarke and Ghanaian-American Congressman Gabe Amo for their leadership and unwavering solidarity.
He described the endorsement as a “vital boost” to Ghana’s momentum in rallying global support for reparatory justice.
As Ghana prepares to table the historic resolution at the United Nations, the country’s strengthened ties with U.S. lawmakers and the African Union underscore a growing international alliance dedicated to addressing one of history’s most profound injustices.
