Sharing here some important news on the reparations claim for historic, colonial and slave debt, advancing steadily in the Caribbean.  A vital aspect of work everywhere to annul illegitimate debts, and secure justice and reparations for what continues to be collected from the peoples of the global South, in violation of fundamental human and nature rights and generating ever growing social, ecological, economic and political debts to them.  Hope this will aspect will be included in the present work on Financing for ¿whose? Development -

Best,
Beverly

14 Caribbean nations sue Britain, Holland and France for slavery reparations that could cost hundreds of billions of pounds ·         Countries demanding compensation for 'awful' legacy of Atlantic trade
·         Have hired lawyers who won pay-out for Kenyans tortured in the 1950s
·         Britain compensated slave owners £20m in 1834 - equal to £200bn today
·         Idea of reparations in the U.S. has often surfaced, but none has been paid
