ONU cere statelor să ia în calcul despăgubiri pentru comerțul transatlantic cu sclavi

A UN committee has mandated that states must consider reparations for the transatlantic slave trade and address ongoing racial discrimination effects. The guidelines emphasize current obligations under the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. This shift in focus from historical accountability to present responsibilities aims to combat structural inequalities. The document may support legal claims for reparations. Recommendations include opening historical archives and establishing truth commissions. Calls for reparations have increased, though some governments argue against current responsibility for past actions.
