Meanwhile, the enslaved were deprived of education, healthcare, opportunity, and prosperity.</p> <p>This laid the foundations for a violent discrimination system based on white supremacy that still echoes today.</p> <p>Descendants of enslaved Africans and people of African descent are still fighting for equal rights and freedoms around the world.</p> <p>Today and every day, we reject the legacy of this horrific crime against humanity.</p> <p>We call for reparatory justice frameworks, to help overcome generations of exclusion and discrimination.</p> <p>We appeal for the space and necessary conditions for healing, repair and justice.</p> <p>And above all, we resolve to work for a world free from racism, discrimination, bigotry and hate.</p> <p>Together, as we remember the victims of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, let’s unite for human rights, dignity and opportunity for all.</p> <p style="text-align: right; padding-top: 2em; padding-right: 2em;"><a href="/sg/en/"><em>Antonio Guterres</em></a></p> </div> <!--BEGINNING RIGHT COLUMN--><!--BEGINNING RIGHT COLUMN--> <div class="col-lg-4"> <blockquote style="padding: 2em 0em 0em 2em;"> <div class="row"> <div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Lfvf2ub_A0U" width="560"></iframe></div> <div class="col-sm-12" style="margin-top: 10px; margin-left: 5"> <p>Today and every day, we reject the legacy of this horrific crime against humanity.&nbsp;We call for reparatory justice frameworks, to help overcome generations of exclusion and discrimination.</p> <small style="text-align: right; padding-right: 1em;"><a href="/sg/en/">Antonio Guterres</a></small></div> </div> </blockquote> <h3 style="padding-top: 2rem; padding-bottom: 2rem;">Other messages</h3> <ul> <li> <p><a href="/pga/78/2024/03/25/pga-remarks-at-the-general-assembly-commemorative-meeting-to-mark-the-international-day-of-remembrance-of-the-victims-of-slavery-and-the-transatlantic-slave-trade/">Remarks by the President of the General Assembly, Dennis Francis</a></p> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-local-category field-type-entityreference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Local category:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/en/local-categories/campaigns">Campaigns</a></div></div></div> Wed, 15 May 2024 15:50:34 +0000 EGACHARA 217469 at
