An international conference was held in Accra, the capital of Ghana, from November 18 to 19, bringing together delegates from Africa, the Caribbean, the Americas, Europe, and the diaspora in general to chart a path toward full reparations for slavery, colonialism, and apartheid suffered by African peoples.
The conference, convened by the Pan-African Progressive Front (PPF), produced the Accra Declaration on Restorative Justice, which outlines a series of demands and commitments, including:
- Recognition of the inalienable right of Africans and people of African descent to full reparations.
- A comprehensive framework for restorative justice based on restitution, compensation, rehabilitation, and guarantees of non-repetition.
- Structural reforms in global governance, including the democratization of the United Nations Security Council and the reform of international financial institutions.
- Creation of national, regional, and continental bodies for restorative justice.
- Formal commitment by former colonial powers, acknowledgment of responsibilities, and initiation of negotiations on reparations.
