UN Committee calls for reparatory justice for slavery
31, GNA – The United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) has called for comprehensive reparatory justice measures for people of African descent over the enduring effects of slavery and colonialism.
The Committee said States Parties to the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination had obligations to address contemporary racial discrimination and structural inequalities linked to colonialism and slavery.
It urged States to develop national action plans on reparatory justice that were action-oriented and time-bound, and developed in consultation with people of African descent and reparations committees.
