ONU a stabilit că țările au obligația să cântărească acordarea de despăgubiri pentru sclavie

A UN committee has stated that countries are legally obligated to consider reparations for the transatlantic slave trade and address ongoing racial discrimination. The guidelines emphasize that these obligations arise from a legally binding convention on racial discrimination, not historical legal standards. The committee calls for comprehensive reparative measures for people of African descent, highlighting that financial compensation alone is insufficient. It urges states to take transformative actions, including opening archives and establishing truth commissions. Experts expect states to move beyond mere expressions of regret.
