  "account": "President John Dramani Mahama addressed the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly, congratulating the Secretary-General on his election to lead the session amid global fragmentation and inequality. He expressed confidence in the Secretary-General's commitment to inclusive dialogue. Mahama paid tribute to the founding principles of the UN, emphasizing that every individual belongs to the human family regardless of race, nationality, or background. He highlighted the importance of addressing the legacy of slavery and the transatlantic slave trade, which he called the gravest crime against humanity. Ghana had recently adopted a resolution acknowledging this history, and Mahama expressed gratitude for the support of various nations and organizations in pursuing reparatory justice and restitution.",
