Commonwealth agrees ‘time has come’ for talks on legacy of slavery

Leaders from 56 Commonwealth member countries gathered at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa to discuss the legacy of transatlantic slave trade and the possibility of reparations. The joint statement acknowledged the need for discussions on reparatory justice and a common future based on equity. While some countries, especially African, Caribbean, and Pacific nations, are pushing for financial reparations from former colonial powers like Britain, the discussions during the summit were focused on dialogue rather than specific monetary commitments. The meeting was seen as historic by some experts, offering an opportunity for the Commonwealth to lead in addressing historical wrongs. The British royal family, who benefited from the slave trade, faced calls for personal apologies, but the summit highlighted the need to move forward from the painful past towards a more inclusive and equitable future.
