加纳 John Dramani Mahama 总统谈及跨大西洋奴隶贸易的不公正本质，指出其根基建立在否定非洲人性尊严之上。2026 年 3 月下旬，他在纽约联合国总部举行的非洲人口贩运与奴役问题赔偿正义高级别会议上发表讲话，强调国际社会需共同应对这些历史不公。

"这项决议让我们作为全球共同体，共同见证四百年间 1800 万男女老幼的苦难 -- 他们的家园、社区、姓名、家庭、希望、梦想、未来乃至生命全被剥夺。" 总统表示。

总统同时强调奴隶制在道德层面的永恒定性，指出 "错误不会因其在历史上的普遍性或被接受度而改变性质。"

"众人皆行之举未必正确。奴隶制如今是错的，过去同样如此。自非洲人民遭受贩运奴役之日起，就始终有废奴主义者挺身反抗。"

他进一步呼吁在非人化叙事中重拾人性尊严："我们必须铭记重获人性...... 当我们过度吸收暴力与抹除的语言时，我们的思想就会陷入被奴役状态。"

此次活动是全球范围内探讨奴隶制遗留影响、推动受影响群体赔偿正义持续对话的重要组成部分。

President John Dramani Mahama has spoken about the injustices that defined the transatlantic slave trade, noting that its foundation was built on the denial of African humanity.

Delivering an address at a high-level event on reparatory justice for the trafficking and enslavement of Africans, held at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, he emphasised the need for international efforts to confront these injustices.

"This resolution allows us, as a global community, to collectively bear witness to the plight of the 18 million men, women, and children whose homes, communities, names, families, hopes, dreams, futures, and lives were stolen from them over the course of four centuries," he said.

President Mahama also underscored the enduring moral clarity surrounding slavery, stating that wrongdoing is not defined by its prevalence or acceptance in history.

"Just because everybody is doing something doesn't make it right. Slavery is wrong now, and it was wrong then. For as long as Africans have been trafficked and enslaved, there have been abolitionists who have spoken up against it," he noted.

He further urged a conscious effort to reclaim humanity in the face of dehumanizing narratives.

"We must also remember to reclaim our own humanity ... when we absorb too much of the language of violence and erasure, our minds become enslaved," he added.

The event forms part of ongoing global discussions aimed at addressing the lasting impact of slavery and advancing reparatory justice for affected communities.
