Also note that almost all of the Europian countries abstained from voting. I think we are seeing the effects of colonialism.
The resolution talks about ‘reparatory justice’ which I think these colonialists, and countries benefitted from slave trade are afraid of. I feel they see it as, if they agree to it they will have to take actions now and in future, and have to pay or compensate for the injustice.
The justification given by US is utter bullshit. Wealth of western countries mainly came from extracting resources, both human and material, from Asian and African countries. Claiming otherwise is just ignoring the past and neglecting the injustice.
