Are we condemning modern slave trades or just ones no one living can be held accountable for?

And Europe abstaining... Still very far from a reckoning, not to mention reparations
And Canada, and Japan, and Australia....
France still holds Haitians financially responsible for...refusing to be slaves over 200 years ago. Haiti has such a rough time now because the US and EU continue to punish the country for representing the only successful slave revolt.
In case it's too small to see, the third country that voted against is Israel.
I know its the same ol map but the abstaining countries speaks a lot more to their current relationship with the US.
I couldn't find the third country which voted against it, then I found the god's own people who were freed from slavery by god.
I read 3 voted against so i instantly zoomed on Israel just to make sure.
Jewish Holy Scriptures are not against slavery at all. They go in large detail about how to treat the slaves.
Leviticus 25:44-46
“‘Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.

They aren't really for or against the African slave trade, but they take umbrage with anyone claiming October 7th and the thousands of beheaded babies wasn't the worst crime in human history
Why does the "international community" either abstain or vote against? Also nice stance by the gulf states - the Kafala system is obviously not slavery ;)
US- No to slavery but yes to unpaid overtime or direct unpaid like now.
And yes to slavery for millions of people imprisoned because cops lied about what they did.
let me guess... US Israel Argentina Ukriane
