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
