On Thursday, traditional authorities from Ga and Gonja lands flocked to the historic Cape Coast Castle, alongside the Oguaamanhen, to commemorate the Transatlantic Slave Trade. The event brought together different ethnic groups and cultures, exemplifying unity in diversity. Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang addressed the gathering, emphasizing the need for concrete action towards reparatory justice in response to the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 8250 adopted earlier that year.
She acknowledged that the resolution was an important step but not sufficient to repair centuries of injustice. Prof Opoku-Agyemang outlined the various aspects that should be addressed to bring about true and impactful reparatory justice, including education, preservation, restitution, appropriate legal pathways, and sustained international engagements.
She stressed that the pursuit of reparatory justice should involve contributions from history, law, economics, culture, and international relations, warning that differences in the form of justice should not be an excuse for inaction.
