"Ausgleichende Gerechtigkeit": Commonwealth Forces Slavery Debate on London

The Commonwealth has put pressure on London to address its role in the transatlantic slave trade.

At the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Rwanda, leaders from across the 54-member organization called on the UK to apologize for its role in the slave trade and pay reparations to affected countries.

The UK has been reluctant to apologize for its role in the slave trade, arguing that it was a long time ago and that the country has since changed its ways.

However, the Commonwealth leaders argued that the UK's role in the slave trade was a crime against humanity and that the country has a moral obligation to make amends.

The Commonwealth's call for reparations is likely to put pressure on the UK government to reconsider its position.

The UK has been facing increasing pressure in recent years to apologize for its role in the slave trade.

In 2015, the UK government announced that it would set up a £10 million fund to support projects in countries affected by the slave trade.

However, the Commonwealth leaders argued that this was not enough and that the UK needs to do more to atone for its past.

The Commonwealth's call for reparations is a significant development in the global movement for reparations for slavery.

It is likely to put pressure on other countries that were involved in the slave trade to reconsider their positions.

The Commonwealth's call for reparations is a reminder of the lasting legacy of slavery and the need for reconciliation and justice.
