Jamaica is petitioning the British king to refer three questions about the Transatlantic slave trade to a London court. Was the enslavement of Africans unlawful under English law at the time? Does it constitute crimes against humanity under international law? Does Britain therefore have a legal obligation to provide redress? Jamaica hopes the answers could establish a legal basis for reparations. This campaign is part of a broader push for countries to pay for their roles in the Transatlantic slave trade. A UN committee said last month that governments are obliged by law to consider paying damages.
Presenter: Dareen Abughaida
Guests:
Hilary Beckles - Chairman of the Caribbean Community Reparations Commission and Vice Chancellor of the University of the West Indies.
Lawrence Goldman - Emeritus Fellow in History at St Peter's College, University of Oxford, and former Editor of the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.

Just allow 2 million Arabs a year into England for 10 year and we'll call it even.

The Moranrt Bay Rebellion took place in 1865, 27 years after the end of slavery in Jamaica. It therefore was not a slave rebellion.😂

It would make sense to pay reparations to the people who were enslaved, but that, of course, is impossible. It shouldn't just be Britain, of course - most countries, including America, should do so. Why should money be paid for descendants of slaves, though? Most are probably better off than they would have been had slavery not existed - they would presumably still be in Africa, with a much lower standard of living than they currently have. What harm has their ancestors' slavery done them, and - if any - how would you measure it? What of my ancestors who were captured into slavery by the Barbary corsairs/pirates? Should I get reparations for that? Of course not.

Unfortunately it should be the slaver countries that redress the UK for STOPPING slavery. The Slaver countries were all on the West Coast of Africa, with their kings offering captured Africans to to white slave ships. .

No and it's no surprise this comes now, nearly 200 years after Britain ended the slave trade, the first country in the world to ever do so.

Pretty sure they already got a few countries out of it. Jamaica and Hati are perfect examples

If black people want reparations they can start with the people who captured, enslaved, and sold them - Africans.

When do European decedents get reparations for the Islamic slave trade of European people? They had slave ports in Southern France and Southern Spain.

Lets make a Deal. We will Pay Reparations for the 700.000 Slaves, your People Sold to us. Minus all the Handouts we gave Africa over the Decades, Minus all we Paid for those Illegally here for Decades, Extra Charge for those Whites Your People killed in Europe, Plus we will take away ALL Technology you only have because of US. Go Back to the Before Wheel Time. And then you OWN us about 10 Trillion Dollars. DEAL???
