The CARICOM Reparations Committee wants $50 billion as money for an Investment Development Fund donated as a starting point by entities that profited from slavery, and apologised for their role, to begin the Caribbean growth process, and to be managed both regionally and globally.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The initial money from this Fund is not intended to be passed on to individuals but, with approval of the regional and global management committee, go towards capital outlay for much needed productive projects across the Caribbean and to prop up the social advancement of the people.<\/p>\n

Those who are being asked to contribute to the fund span from organisations which have in recent times publicly admitted to using gains from slavery for the start-up of their operations that remain profitable today, to persons who stacked up individual wealth which they admitted founded its seed financing in the enslavement of Africans in the Caribbean.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cEvery bank on the high streets of England, all the banks that you know, Lloyds, Barclays, National Westminster, Midlands, all of them began their journey in the financing of slavery and colonisation, and they all issued [apologies].\u201d said University of the West Indies Vice-Chancellor, Hilary Beckles, yesterday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

UWI\u2019s principal academic and administrative officer who also heads the CARICOM Reparations Committee spoke of the organisation\u2019s intent during an Internet live stream interview, conducted by Professor Andy Knight, commemorating International Day for Reparations designated for 12 October.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, 12 October is the anniversary of Christopher Columbus\u2019 first landing in the Americas when he touched down on the Bahamian island later named, San Salvador in 1492.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Professor Knight of the University of Alberta said, \u201cin doing so he [Columbus] ushered in a cycle of occupation, violence, genocide, and slavery and heralded the advent of colonisation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that colonial legacy continues to plague the people of our region.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Beckles, a foremost Caribbean historian and author of many books detailing the region\u2019s past, singled out two financial houses that to this day owe their successful existence
\nto some 200 years of free labour of Africans in the Caribbean.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cLloyd\u2019s of London the largest insurance company in the world that made its fortune from ensuring not only the slave ships but insuring the Africans as property. They have issued their apology.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another, and even more significant company to admit its role and apologise in recent months is the Bank of England which, Beckles said, \u201cwas established to regulate all of the cash coming into England from slavery.<\/p>\n

There was so much cash and so many small provincial banks the government put the Bank of England together to regulate all of that cash coming in, standardise it, and make it available to industrialists in England who could borrow that money from the provincial banks and invest it to build factories for industrial development. So Caribbean cash would circulate in the British economy through a guided model\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have said an apology is never enough when the damage is [still] here,\u201d the Vice-Chancellor said, adding, \u201cwhat we are looking at now, is that there should be launch under the auspices of the United Nations, one of its agencies, an Investment Development Fund, in which all of the countries, companies, persons, and institutions, that gave all those apologies in recent years for the extraction of wealth from slavery and colonisation, they put this money into this fund\u201d.<\/p>\n

He explained that the Fund will be globally and nationally managed for the purpose of sponsoring economic and social development at the site of the wealth extraction, the Caribbean.<\/p>\n

According to Beckles, the CARICOM Committee\u2019s concept is not new.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the model that was used largely by the Jewish Reparations Committee \u2026 [that] got reparations out of Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n

The initial deposit into the Fund is chicken feed compared to the amount of earnings European countries, especially the UK, benefitted from Caribbean slavery.<\/p>\n

Beckles disclosed, \u201cwe did the numbers, 200 years of free labour, from about 15 million people\u2026 including adults and children, you\u2019re talking about seven trillion pounds [sterling].\u201d<\/p>\n

Beckles sought to clarify a popular misconception that CARICOM states are seeking cash payments directly into national coffers or the hands of citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reparations that we are talking about is about laying the foundation for investment in the economic development of the Caribbean.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the same time, it is about building institutions to allow for issues of identity and sovereignty and rights and education to be rooted in the pedagogy of identity and education and culture.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo this is not a handout process.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is about negotiating the economic and social transformation of the Caribbean that had been extracted to the max in terms of its wealth and the call for a return, repatriation, of at least a part of that wealth to support economic transformation and social development.\u201d<\/p>\n
