So that colonialisms of yesterday and today are not repeated tomorrow

Senegal - Slavery

Senegal is the second nation to have recognized slavery as a "crime against humanity".

On April 27th 2010 the Senegalese Parliament approves the Law 10/2010 in which the Republic of Senegal solemnly declares that slavery, and the slave trade in all their forms constitute a crime against humanity.

Nonviolence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man. Destruction is not the law of the humans. Man lives freely by his readiness to die, if need be, at the hands of his brother, never by killing him. Every murder or other injury, no matter for what cause, committed or inflicted on another is a crime against humanity.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Harijan, 1936
