UN General Assembly Declares Transatlantic Slave Trade as Gravest Crime Against Humanity
The United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution declaring the transatlantic slave trade the 'gravest crime against humanity'.

The International Energy Agency announced that its 32 member countries will release nearly 400 million barrels of oil from strategic reserves, the largest such action in its history. The move responds to supply disruptions from the US-Israel war on Iran, including retaliatory strikes and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which handles 20 million barrels per day. Analysts indicate the release provides only temporary relief due to slow extraction and delivery paces, with operators advised to monitor conflict de-escalation and oil price trajectories.
