In this episode of The Resistance Bureau, we speak with Professor Matiangai Sirleaf about the UN General Assembly’s condemnation of the trafficking of enslaved Africans and racialized chattel enslavement as the gravest crime against humanity. Drawing on her recent scholarship, the conversation examines why the UN resolution matters, what it reveals about Western double standards, and whether global recognition can become a pathway toward accountability and a more honest reckoning with the enduring structures created by slavery.
