President John Dramani Mahama, Ghana’s AU Champion for Reparatory Justice, is set to address a high-level side event at the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York. The event, themed “From Commitments to Action on Reparatory Justice: Advancing International Cooperation for the Return and Restitution of Cultural Properties and Heritage,” will focus on advancing reparatory justice following the UN’s historic resolution recognizing slavery and trafficking as crimes against humanity.
Co-hosted by Ghana, Germany, and France, the event will bring together eleven other Heads of State and senior leaders. This discussion builds on President Mahama’s recent conference in Accra, where leaders reaffirmed a united African-Caribbean position on reparations and established key bodies to further the cause.
