Rallying the Region around Case for Reparation

Some of the participants at the 2nd Regional Conference on Reparations, Antigua/Barbuda, Oct. 12-14, 2014.

As a united CARICOM, we intend to establish the moral, ethical and legal case for Reparations, including the special case for reparative justice for Haiti. As we seek redress for the blatant wrongs that have never been adequately addressed, we are on the threshold of a massive regional awakening and renewal that in no small way may re-ignite and rally the region to new levels of consciousness and cooperation.

Dr. Douglas Slater, Assistant Secretary General, Human and Social Development, CARICOM Secretariat, addressing the opening ceremony of the second Regional Conference on Reparations, Antigua and Barbuda, October 12-14, 2014.
