Day 2: Justice through Reparations: African-Caribbean Dialogue

The African Union (AU) declared 2025 as the “Year of Reparations” under the theme “Advancing Justice through Reparations: Reparations, Restoration, and Renaissance”. Reparations for historical injustices and human rights violations due to slavery, colonialism, and other forms of exploitation against people of African descent is one the burning issues of our time. To explore this topic further, particularly against the background of the strategies devised and measures taken by countries in the Caribbean, individually and collectively as part of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), a conference titled Justice through Reparations: African-Caribbean Dialogue is organised. Over the two conference days, around 40 papers will be presented, as set out in the preliminary programme. The organisers are three academic institutions (the University of The Bahamas, the University of Pretoria (Centre for Human Rights and NRF Chair in International Constitutional Law) and the University of Goma), together with the Bahamas National Reparations Committee, and the African Judges and Jurists Forum, in partnership with CARICOM and the United Nations Permanent Forum on People of African Descent. The event is further undertaken in collaboration with the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights, the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights and the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child.
