United Nations, New York, 25 march 2010 - Special commemorative meeting of the General Assembly on the occasion of the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Slavery and slavery-like practices still continue in many parts of the world, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon warned today, calling for renewed international commitment to ensure that all forms of slavery are finally eradicated. We must create a climate in which such abuse and cruelty are inconceivable, the Secretary-General said in a message marking the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
