Communiqué du 26 novembre 2006 : "L’Assemblée générale des Nations-Unies, a décidé que le 25 mars 2007 serait la Journée internationale de commémoration du bicentenaire de l’abolition de la traite transatlantique. Les États Membres ont rappelé que la traite des esclaves et les séquelles de l’esclavage sont au cœur de situations d’inégalité sociale et économique profonde, de haine, d’intolérance, de racisme et de parti pris dont continuent de pâtir à ce jour les personnes d’ascendance africaine.
art.1 "La République française reconnaît que la traite négrière transatlantique ainsi que la traite dans l’océan Indien d’une part, et l’esclavage d’autre part, perpétrés à partir du xve siècle, aux Amériques et aux Caraïbes, dans l’océan Indien et en Europe contre les populations africaines, amérindiennes, malgaches et indiennes constituent un crime contre l’humanité"
The International Slavery Museum explores both the historical and contemporary aspects of slavery, addressing the many legacies of the slave trade and telling stories of bravery and rebellion amongst the enslaved people.
Britain banned the importation of African slaves in its colonies in 1807, and the United States followed in 1808. Britain abolished slavery throughout the British Empire with the Slavery Abolition Act 1833, the French colonies abolished it 15 years later, and slavery in the United States was abolished in 1865, after the American Civil War, with the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

TOUSSAINT LOUVERTURE was the leader of the Haitian Revolution. His military genius and political acumen led to the establishment of the independent black state of Haiti, transforming an entire society of slaves into a free, self-governing people. The success of the Haitian Revolution shook the institution of slavery throughout the New World. The French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte tried to re-establish slavery in the Caribbean colony Saint-Domingue (later renamed Haiti) through his brother in law General Leclerc. He had Toussaint Louverture captured by deceit and transferred to a dungeon in the French Alps where the Haitian revolutionary leader later died.
