African and Caribbean nations call for formal apology for transatlantic slavery

African and Caribbean countries have called for a formal apology and reparations from countries that benefited from the transatlantic slave trade.

The demands come at the end of a three day conference in Ghana which looked to advance the push for reparatory justice.

It follows a landmark UN resolution earlier in March which recognised transatlantic slavery as the "gravest crime against humanity", urging UN member states to contribute to a reparations fund.

Around 12-15 million African men, women and children were captured and trafficked to the Americas to work as slaves from the 15-19th century.

A 19-point reparations plan has been endorsed as part of the "Next Steps" conference in the Ghanaian capital of Accra.

Call for formal apologies from countries that benefited from transatlantic trade slave included in 19-point roadmap

A global framework for reparatory justice has been adopted at a conference in Ghana, as African and Caribbean leaders demanded formal apologies from countries that benefited from the transatlantic slave trade.

Heads of state and government and other officials formally approved the strategy on Friday at a gathering in a hotel in the capital, Accra, which was the first major meeting since the adoption of the landmark United Nations (UN) resolution declaring the trafficking of enslaved Africans as the gravest crime against humanity.

The document lays out a 19-point global framework for reparatory justice. They include a call for “all state and non-state institutions yet to do so” to “offer full, formal and unconditional apologies as a foundational step towards reconciliation, trust-building and reparatory justice”.
