A Caribbean ambassador has called for global action to establish a slavery tribunal during a recent event focused on reparations for slavery. The ambassador emphasized the need for accountability and justice for the historical injustices inflicted upon people of African descent through the transatlantic slave trade.

The ambassador highlighted the importance of addressing the lasting impacts of slavery, including systemic racism and economic disparities that continue to affect communities today. By advocating for the establishment of a slavery tribunal, the ambassador aims to create a platform for truth-telling, reconciliation, and reparations.

The proposed tribunal would serve as a mechanism to hold accountable those responsible for the atrocities of slavery and ensure that the voices of descendants of enslaved individuals are heard. It would also provide a forum for examining the legacies of slavery and implementing measures to address the ongoing consequences of this dark chapter in history.

The call for a slavery tribunal underscores the ongoing efforts to reckon with the legacy of slavery and seek redress for the injustices of the past. The ambassador's plea for global action reflects a growing recognition of the need to confront historical wrongs and work towards a more just and equitable future for all.
