Ghana hosted the conference as part of efforts to move the reparations discussion from advocacy and historical recognition towards coordinated international policy and action. “I look forward to working with the Government of Ghana, fellow Council members and other stakeholders to advance a coordinated global agenda for justice and repair,” he said. His 2015 book, The Case for Caribbean Reparatory Justice, brought together speeches and writings reflecting his arguments for a sustained regional and international movement. The Repair Campaign said other prominent Caribbean leaders invited to participate in the global initiative include Jamaican Prime Minister Dr. Andrew Holness and Barbados Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley. Mottley was among the regional voices addressing the June Accra gathering, where she called for a stronger and more unified Africa-Caribbean approach to the reparatory justice movement.
