Global Reparations Framework Adopted in Ghana — What It Means for Former Colonial Powers
The Guardian·Sunday, 21 June 2026
A landmark conference in Accra, Ghana has adopted a 19-point global framework for reparatory justice, including a call for formal apologies from countries that benefited from the transatlantic slave trade. African and Caribbean leaders drove the push, with Barbados PM Mia Mottley presenting a new manifesto asserting the 'moral, ethical and legal case' for reparations.
