UN resolution fuels global slavery reparations debate The United Nations General Assembly this week adopted a landmark resolution declaring the transatlantic slave trade "the gravest crime against humanity." It also calls on UN member nations to engage in talks "on reparatory justice, including a full and formal apology, measures of restitution, compensation, rehabilitation, satisfaction, guarantees of non-repetition and changes to laws, programs and services to address racism and systemic discrimination." While not legally binding, the resolution is widely seen as a significant political milestone. "It is a very important decision… it recognizes the fact that the transatlantic slave trade was a grave injustice to humanity," said Isa Sanusi, Amnesty International's executive director in Nigeria. "This recognition alone, even though symbolic, will go a long way in opening the way for addressing that injustice," Sanusi told DW. For many Africans and members of the diaspora, the vote signals a shift from symbolic recognition toward a more substantive global conversation about accountability. From historical memory to global policy Along Ghana's coastline, the push for reparations is often linked to historical sites where the legacy of the trade remains visible. Elmina Castle, built in 1482, stands as one of the most prominent reminders of the transatlantic slave trade. Behind its...

UN calls for reparations to remedy the historical wrongs of trafficking enslaved Africans The vote in the 193-member world body was 123-3, with 52 abstentions. Argentina, Israel and the United States were the three members voting against the resolution. The United Kingdom and all 27 members of the European Union were among those that abstained. While the United States opposes the past wrongdoing of the transatlantic slave trade and all other forms of slavery, it "does not recognize a legal right to reparations for historical wrongs that were not illegal under international law at the time they occurred," deputy U.S. ambassador Dan Negrea said before the vote. "The United States also strongly objects to the resolution's attempt to rank crimes against humanity in any type of hierarchy," he said. "The assertion that some crimes against humanity are less severe than others objectively diminishes the suffering of countless victims and survivors of other atrocities throughout history." In the United States, support for reparations gained momentum in the wake of the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer in 2020. However, the issue has been a difficult one and has been caught up in a broader conservative backlash over how race, history and inequality are handled in public institutions. Unlike U.N. Security Council...

UN resolution urges reparations for slavery's 'historical wrongs' The resolution spearheaded by Ghana received 123 votes in favour. Three countries – Argentina, Israel and the United States – voted against and 52 abstained. “Today, we come together in solemn solidarity to affirm truth and pursue a route to healing and reparative justice,” said Ghana’s President John Dramani Mahama, speaking ahead of the vote on behalf of the 54-member African Group – the largest regional bloc at the UN. Stolen, shackled, shipped For more than 400 years, millions of people were stolen from Africa, put in shackles and shipped to the New World to toil in cotton fields and sugar and coffee plantations under scorching heat and the crack of the whip. Denied their basic humanity and even their own names, they were forced to endure generations of exploitation with repercussions that reverberate today including persistent anti-Black racism and discrimination. The resolution emphasised “the trafficking of enslaved Africans and racialised chattel enslavement of Africans as the gravest crime against humanity by reason of the definitive break in world history, scale, duration, systemic nature, brutality and enduring consequences that continue to structure the lives of all people through racialized regimes of labour, property and capital.” There are spirits of the...

The Case for Global Climate Reparations Originally published in Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung. To combat climate change, the entire world has to make the transition away from fossil fuels. If a major emitter like the United States or India doesn’t substantially reduce its emissions, it will doom the entire enterprise. As never before in human history, richer and poorer must work together. But what will that joint action look like? The industrial revolution, which coincided with peak colonialism, enriched the Global North at the expense of the Global South. In the process of spewing out vast quantities of greenhouse gasses, richer countries also racked up an enormous climate debt beginning in the nineteenth century. Now, the richer countries—and the richest individuals wherever they might live—must pay back this debt by funding the clean energy transition of poorer communities. Paying reparations in this way is not just an act of justice. It is indispensable to the saving of the planet. In theory, that’s what the Just Energy Transition Partnerships are all about. South Africa’s JET-P, for instance, is designed to finance the country’s shift away from coal-fired power plants to renewable sources of energy. Currently, 83 percent of South African electricity is generated by fossil fuels, with 58...
