Ghana has endorsed Jamaica’s plan to petition King Charles III over Britain’s legal obligations concerning slavery, strengthening the African and Caribbean reparations campaign. Jamaica plans to submit its petition in September, asking the Privy Council to consider whether the forced transportation and enslavement of Africans in Jamaica were lawful, constituted crimes against humanity, and created an obligation for restitution. Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness stresses that reparations extend beyond money to include institutional reform, cultural restitution, and investment in communities affected by slavery. President John Mahama, who leads the African Union’s reparations campaign, said Ghana supports Jamaica’s initiative and argued that the debate must move from acknowledging injustice toward addressing its lasting effects. He previously championed a UN resolution declaring the slave trade the “gravest crime against humanity,” adopted in March.
