You Will Know Them by Their Actions and Histories

Transatlantic slave trade was a grave crime. States that agreed? 123.
Then 52 abstained. No, they voted. Argentina, Israel and the US. The 3.
We’re all democracies. History. No, slavery isn’t a crime against humanity.
We don’t advance narrow interests, agendas. We exist to maintain security!

So shamelessly stated the nations that ran and profited from the slave trade.
Historical wrongs. International law. They’re the rules. Narratives. Genocide!
