ACCRA, Ghana \u2014 African and Caribbean leaders in Ghana on Friday urged former slave-trading nations to issue apologies and reparations over the trafficking of enslaved Africans after a landmark U.N. resolution in March declaring it \u201cthe gravest crime against humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cNext Steps\u201d conference in the Ghanaian capital of Accra issued a declaration calling on countries involved in the Atlantic slave trade to \u201coffer full, formal and unconditional apologies as a foundational step towards reconciliation, trust-building and reparatory justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

The U.N. resolution is non-binding but carries moral authority. Organizers said the Ghana conference was aimed at moving the reparations debate from recognition to concrete measures, including moves to require compensation under international law.<\/p>\n

About 12 million Africans were forcefully taken by traders from European nations from the 16th to the 19th century and enslaved on plantations that built wealth at the price of misery.<\/p>\n

Ghana President John Dramani Mahama said the U.N. resolution had created a new opportunity for meaningful engagement on reparations. He said the effects of slavery continue to be felt across Africa, the Caribbean, and the wider African diaspora.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re here because recognition creates responsibility, and because the enduring consequences of this history continue to demand thoughtful, coordinated, and sustained international engagement,\u201d Mahama told delegates from more than 80 countries.<\/p>\n

At a reparations summit in Ghana in 2023, participants proposed establishing a Global Reparation Fund, though they did not clarify how it would operate.<\/p>\n

Positions on reparations are mixed in countries that would contribute.<\/p>\n

For example, residents of the United States view the prospect of reparations mostly negatively. A Pew Research Center survey conducted in 2021 found that only about three in 10 U.S. adults said descendants of people enslaved in the U.S. should be repaid in some way, such as being given land or money.<\/p>\n

Some activists say reparations should include direct financial payments, but also developmental aid for countries and the return of colonized resources.<\/p>\n
