A Caribbean ambassador has voiced the importance of creating an international tribunal to address reparations for transatlantic slavery and its enduring impacts.
A high-level Caribbean ambassador said on Wednesday it was crucial to establish a new international special tribunal to seek reparations for transatlantic slavery and its legacies in today's society. Reuters reported earlier this month that support was building among African and Caribbean nations for the creation of such a tribunal on atrocities dating to transatlantic slavery. For over four centuries at least 12.
David Comissiong, the Barbados ambassador to the Caribbean Community and a well-know reparations advocate, said a tribunal was needed as there was no international court properly equipped to deal with reparations claims of such magnitude and complexity. Comissiong was speaking at the third session of the Permanent Forum on People of African Descent in Geneva. The PFPAD initially suggested the establishment of the tribunal last year.
