Ghana pushes for concrete slavery reparations
Ghana hosted a landmark global conference on Thursday seeking to translate growing political support for slavery reparations into practical commitments towards justice.
From 17 to 19 June, Ghana hosts a conference of Heads of State and delegations from more than eighty countries to define a common line on slavery-related reparations, following the UN resolution recognizing the transatlantic trade as the worst crime against humanity.
More than eighty countries sit in Accra today to talk about repairs. And Spain is in the spotlight, even if it is not present in the room. We tell you why. Indignometer Level of impact for Spain: 8/10. The ‘Next Steps’ conference reopens a diplomatic front that could translate into demands for economic compensation and a serious blow to the image of the country in Africa and Latin America, regions where Spanish companies have interests.
