The Antigua and Barbuda<\/a><\/strong> Reparations Support Commission (ABRSC) has strategically positioned itself to lead national efforts in support of the Second International Decade for People of African Descent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new decade provides a critical opportunity to take meaningful and sustained action in confronting the enduring legacies of slavery and colonialism, advancing reparatory justice, and securing the full realization of human rights and freedoms for people of African descent worldwide.<\/p>

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

For Antigua and Barbuda, the Commission\u2019s work during this period will center on recognition, with an emphasis on research and documentation of resistance efforts, including the pivotal roles of women freedom fighters.<\/p>

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

Key focus areas include renaming and reimagining spaces of historical significance, as well as collaboration with the CARICOM Reparations Commission to advance implementation of the CARICOM Ten-Point Plan for Reparatory Justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This renewed thrust follows the ABRSC\u2019s participation in the Fourth Session of the United Nations Permanent Forum on People of African Descent (PFPAD), which took place at the UN headquarters in New York last week. <\/p>

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

The two member delegation of Commission Chair Ambassador Dorbrene O\u2019Marde and Commissioner Angelica O\u2019Donoughe engaged in high-level sessions and working groups, building critical alliances to support capacity-building and the Commission\u2019s future work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the heart of the Forum was \u201cThe Garvey Talks: Reparations Rap Session,\u201d which brought together reparation advocates from across the African Diaspora under the theme \u201cReparatory Justice for Africa and People of African Descent.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

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

The event featured speakers from the CARICOM Reparations Commission and the National African-American Reparations Commission, sharing insights, achievements, and strategies for collective advancement.<\/p>

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

Another featured session, \u201cThe Role of Arts and Culture in Acknowledging the Legacy of the Transatlantic Slave Trade and Supporting Afro-Descendant Communities,\u201d explored how national museums, cultural programming, and targeted grants can play a transformative role in advancing reparatory justice through storytelling, education, and community empowerment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of its cultural engagement strategy, the ABRSC is currently preparing to host Dr. Julius Garvey, son of the legendary Pan-Africanist Marcus Garvey, for Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s Watchnight Celebration on July 31st. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His visit is expected to deepen public understanding of reparations and the global Black liberation struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A powerful highlight of the Forum was its closing session, which focused on Haiti\u2019s Independence Debt \u2014 200 Years Later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The session marked two centuries since France imposed an \u201cindependence debt\u201d on Haiti, the world\u2019s first Black republic, underscoring Haiti\u2019s central role in the global history of anti-colonialism, abolition, and African self-determination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Ambassador Walton Webson delivered a compelling address on behalf of Caricom stating:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe world owes a moral and historical debt to Haiti. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The success of its revolution further emboldened the ancestors in the Caribbean. Haiti stood first, and for that it stood alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, centuries later, we must not leave Haiti to stand alone again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a time for reparations. A time for justice. A time to restore Haiti \u2014 not just in words, but through concrete international action. France must account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world must acknowledge. And we \u2014 people of African descent across the Caribbean and beyond \u2014 must unite in defense of Haiti\u2019s future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moderated by H.E. Martin Kimani, Chair of the Permanent Forum, the discussion illuminated Haiti\u2019s historical significance and the urgency of supporting its restoration as a vital component of the Second International Decade for People of African Descent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Antigua and Barbuda<\/a><\/strong> Reparations Support Commission reaffirms its unwavering commitment to public education, community engagement, and projects that advance the global movement for reparatory justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
