Motion text

That this House welcomes the Abuja Proclamation issued after the First Pan-African Conference on Reparations, sponsored by the Organisation of African Unity, and the Government of Nigeria; notes the historical precedents in reparations such as the case of German repayment for restitution to the Jews for the enormous tragedy of the Holocaust; calls upon the international community to recognise that the unprecedented moral debt owed to African people has yet to be paid, and urges all those countries who were enriched by enslavement and colonisation to review the case for reparations to be paid to Africa and to Africans in the Diaspora; acknowledges the continuing painful economic and personal consequences of the exploitation of Africa and Africans in the Diaspora and the racism it has generated; and supports the OAU as it intensifies its efforts to pursue the cause of reparations.
