Tariq Ramadan Sentenced to 18 Years for Rape in France

In a landmark vote, the United Nations General Assembly has declared the enslavement of Africans in the transatlantic slave trade as the 'gravest crime against humanity.' The resolution, proposed by Ghana, received overwhelming support from 123 member states, with only three nations opposing it. The resolution calls for reparations and an apology for the transatlantic slave trade and addresses the ongoing racial inequalities stemming from it. While the resolution emphasizes the need for reparatory justice, responses from the US and other nations highlight the complexities of addressing historical injustices through legal frameworks.

Nicolás Maduro is seeking to have his U.S. drug trafficking indictment dismissed, arguing that sanctions prevent the Venezuelan government from funding his legal fees, a violation of his constitutional rights. Both Maduro and his wife, who are detained in Brooklyn, maintain their innocence amid accusations of serious crimes linked to drug trafficking. Support for Maduro persists in Venezuela, despite his political sidelining under the current regime of Delcy Rodríguez, who has altered the previous government’s structure and policies.
