Algerian Parliament Speaker Arrives in Accra for UN Trafficking Resolution Conference

Accra, Ghana, is hosting a significant international gathering focused on addressing the legacy of the transatlantic slave trade. The Speaker of the Algerian Parliament, Azouz Nasri, arrived in the Ghanaian capital to participate in the Next Steps High-Level Consultative Conference.

The three-day event, running from June 17 to June 19, 2026, centers on the implementation of a landmark United Nations Resolution on the Trafficking of Enslaved Africans. The conference convenes parliamentary leaders, diplomats, civil society representatives, and other key stakeholders.

Participants will deliberate on the implications of the UN Resolution for Africans and people of African descent globally. A primary objective is to foster a coordinated global framework that strengthens advocacy efforts and provides practical guidance for implementing the Resolution across member states.

Organizers emphasize that this conference represents a critical juncture, aiming to translate the historic UN Resolution from a declarative statement into tangible action. The Resolution acknowledges the transatlantic slave trade and seeks to address its enduring impact on individuals and communities worldwide.
