UN Adopts Slavery Resolution Calling For Reparations Despite US, European Objections Authored by Chris Summers via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), The U.N. General Assembly on March 25 adopted a resolution declaring the trafficking of enslaved Africans “the gravest crime against humanity” and calling for reparations.

Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty Images The vote at U.N. headquarters in New York City saw 123 countries voting in favor of the resolution, with only the United States, Israel, and Argentina voting against it. The UK, France, Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands—who were all heavily involved in the slave trade during the 17th, 18th, and part of the 19th centuries—were among the 52 countries that abstained. General Assembly resolutions, unlike U.N. Security Council resolutions, are not legally binding. The resolution, put forward by Ghana, “declares the trafficking of enslaved Africans and racialized chattel enslavement of Africans as the gravest crime against humanity,” adding that claims for reparations “represent a concrete step towards remedying historical wrongs against Africans and people of African descent.” Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama, who helped draw up the resolution, said an estimated 13 million African men, women, and children were enslaved over several centuries. The document says that under international law, “states bear responsibility for internationally wrongful acts and have an obligation to cease the act if it is continuing and to offer appropriate assurances and guarantees of non-repetition if the circumstances so require, and to make full reparation for the injury caused, which may take the form of restitution, compensation and satisfaction, either singly or in combination.” Deputy U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Dan Negrea said before the vote that the resolution’s te...

BlackJack3D/iStock via Getty Images Highlights U.S. broad market indexes rose in the quarter, capping a year characterized by investor enthusiasm for AI and continued leadership from momentum-oriented stocks. The fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, during the quarter; however, it remained behind the index on a full-year basis. Consumer discretionary, financials, and consumer staples were the portfolio's best-performing sectors this quarter. Market review and outlook The fourth quarter capped a year characterized by strong enthusiasm for AI and continued leadership from momentum-oriented stocks. Against this backdrop, the portfolio outperformed both the broad market and the value index during the quarter, although it lagged the benchmark index for the full year. The portfolio remains positioned across a diverse set of idiosyncratic investment controversies, with exposure to businesses where near-term challenges obscure durable earnings power. Due to the narrow market leadership, we continue to see attractive valuation dispersion, and we believe the environment remains constructive for long-term value investors. Contributors and detractors Consumer discretionary, financials, and consumer staples were among the largest contributors during the quarter. The largest individual contributor was discount retailer Dollar General ( DG ), which delivered strong same-store sales and margin improvement, exceeding expectations. Store traffic increased as higher-end customers traded down from grocery and pharmacy channels, providing a tailwind to margins that are expected to persist into 2026. Money center bank Citigroup rose amid strong capital markets and benign credit conditions. The company continued to repurchase stock and return capital to shareholders, while expenses related to its transformation are expected to decline in the year ahead. IT services provider Cognizant ( CTSH ) also contributed following an earnings beat, as organic sales continued...
