 Ghana to host global slavery reparations conference


Ghana is set to host a major global conference on reparatory justice next month, following what officials are calling a “historic” resolution by the United Nations recognising the transatlantic slave trade as a crime against humanity, TRT Afrika reported.


According to the Ghana News Agency, the three-day conference will take place from June 17 to 19 in Accra and will be hosted by President John Dramani Mahama, who also serves as the African Union’s champion for reparations.

In a statement reported by the Ghana Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the government said the conference would “chart the next phase of the global reparations agenda” and deepen international dialogue on justice for the descendants of enslaved Africans.
