“What about all the other countries that participated in the slave trade?”

The major traders were Spanish, French, and Portugese.
Most slaves were transported to Brazil and the Caribbean. 1.3 million to French Haiti alone.

Only about 6 percent of all Africans shipped across the Atlantic were taken to North America. The largest numbers went to Brazil and to the Caribbean. ........The newly founded United States was home to 700,000 enslaved people (one million lived and toiled in Brazil at the same time).

So the UN selectively points at America?

Don’t forget the Africans who captured other Africans and sold them into slavery. How much are their descendants on the hook for?
