- CARICOM's delegation will visit the United Kingdom from November 17 to 20, 2025 to meet British officials and lawmakers and promote a joint public-education programme on reparations.
- Driven by long-standing demands, CARICOM and allies advocate reparations to address enduring racism and cite at least 12.5 million Africans kidnapped and transported by European ships.
- A 2025 poll by The Repair Campaign found 85% unaware Britain transported over 3 million Africans, and the most recent Commonwealth summit leaders agreed the time had come to discuss reparations.
- Political resistance has emerged as many European leaders oppose reparations talks, with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer last year preferring to avoid `very long, endless discussions about reparations on the past`.
- Looking beyond bilateral talks, CARICOM's reparations plan advocates formal apologies, education programmes, debt cancellation and monetary compensation, while the African Union develops a similar strategy.
