African and Caribbean Leaders Advocate Reparations Plan at Ghana Conference
African and Caribbean leaders convened in Ghana to advance a reparations plan following a UN resolution recognizing the Atlantic slave trade as a grave crime against humanity. The joint declaration calls for formal apologies from former slave-trading nations, establishment of a Global Reparations Fund, debt relief, and reforms to international financial institutions. It also emphasizes restitution of cultural property, climate justice, and rights for diaspora Africans. While the UN resolution holds moral weight, some countries, including the US and EU members, opposed or abstained, citing concerns over implications.
