CARICOM Leaders Back Jamaica Petition to King Charles for Slavery Reparations
Caribbean leaders, led by Jamaica’s Prime Minister Andrew Holness, are rallying behind a petition to King Charles III seeking reparations for the transatlantic slave trade. The petition requests the King to ask the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council to determine whether the forced transportation of Africans to Jamaica was lawful, if it constituted a crime against humanity, and whether the UK has a legal obligation to provide reparations. This move, described by Holness as a bold step toward justice, has received broad support across Caricom nations and is seen as a watershed moment for reparatory justice in the region. Leaders such as Antigua and Barbuda’s Gaston Browne and St. Vincent’s Ralph Gonsalves emphasize the moral and legal imperative of reparations, highlighting the historical exploitation and economic deprivation caused by slavery. The initiative aligns with ongoing regional efforts, including the work of Jamaica’s National Council on Reparations and the CARICOM Reparations Commission, to seek accountability through international legal mechanisms. Caribbean ministers like Olivia Grange stress the collective nature of this effort and its potential to influence broader reparations movements globally.
