Caricom pushes for monetary reparations for slavery at Ghana summit

Barbados PM Mia Mottley announced an updated Caricom reparations manifesto at a Ghana conference, urging monetary compensation and other redress from former colonial powers for slavery’s harms, including gender-based violence; the plan ties reparations to climate justice and Indigenous rights, seeks a formal apology and education initiatives, and awaits endorsement by Caribbean governments, while stressing that crimes against humanity are not subject to statute of limitations.
