Culmina en EEUU conferencia sobre el reclamo del Caribe a Europa por la esclavitud
International reparations conference ends on high note
An international conference on reparations has ended here with a call for Caribbean governments to proceed urgently with the recommendation that the slave-owning and slave-trading European nations be invited to attend an inter-governmental reparatory justice summit in 2015.
In addition, delegates also agreed to organise two global reparations summits, the first in 2016 to be held in the Caribbean and another in 2017 in Europe.
Don Rojas, the director of communications and international relations at the Institute of the Black World 21st Century (IBW), which convened the three-day conference that ended here on Sunday, described the event as historic and unprecedented and “a tremendous success”.
