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

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

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”.
