High-Level Delegation of the CARICOM Reparations Commission (CRC) in London for Reparations Talks
The CARICOM Reparations Commission (CRC) will visit the United Kingdom from 13 to 16 July 2026 to advance its advocacy for reparatory justice. The delegation’s mission is to strengthen strategic partnerships to promote a programme of public education and civil society engagement on the reparations agenda. Meetings and events will be hosted by the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, School of Advanced Study, University of London.

The members of the CRC delegation are Professor Sir Hilary Beckles, Chairman, CRC; Dorbrene O’Marde, Chairman, Antigua and Barbuda Reparations Support Commission and Vice Chair, CRC; Eric Phillips, Chairman, Guyana Reparations Committee and Vice Chair, CRC; Professor Verene Shepherd, Vice Chair, CRC, and Vice Chair, UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and Ambassador David Comissong, Barbados Ambassador to CARICOM.

Dr Ron Daniels, Convenor of the National African Reparations Commission (USA), will also join the delegation.

The Commission’s visit takes place during a period of significant developments in international reparations efforts and as CARICOM Member States prepare for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) 2026 in Antigua and Barbuda and other engagements.

In March 2026, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the landmark Ghana-led resolution declaring the transatlantic trafficking of enslaved Africans and chattel enslavement as the “gravest crime against humanity.”

Following this achievement, Ghana hosted the High-Level Consultative Conference on Reparations in Accra in June 2026. Described as a “historic turning point for Africans and People of African descent,” the event brought together governments, international organisations, legal experts, and civil society leaders to develop a unified framework for advancing reparatory justice worldwide.

Additionally, this month the revised CARICOM Ten Point Plan for Reparatory Justice: A Manifesto for the Coming Enlightenment; which positions reparations as a “global human rights imperative,” was finalised and approved by the Conference of CARICOM Heads of Government who also agreed to several initiatives to advance the Region’s Reparations agenda.

    Steupsss!!
    Good luck.

    This is not much different to the politicians loitering at the back door of the IMF, EU, IDB etc begging for loans and handouts.

    Mendicancy incorporated – driven by serious inferiority complex.

    WITH THE UK GOV CHANGING HORSES IN MID-STREAM WITH ONE PUPPET ON THE WAY OUT & ANOTHER TAKING OVER – THE REVOLVING DOOR OF THE FORMER KING OF THE NORTH CONTINUES AS IT ALWAYS HAVE DONE SINCE WILLIAM TINDALE TRANSLATED THE BIBLE FROM GREEK TO OLE’ ENGLISH

    I have to agree with the BUSHMAN* – the “HOUSE NEGROES” stand outside “MASSA’s” door, cap in hand or in this case, a “BEGGING TROUGH” (#NotBowl or a “TOPSY”), knowing full well that “BRITAIN IS BROKE”, as all the wealth has been transferred into the hands of the “EPSTEIN BILLIONAIRE CLASS OF PREADTORY CAPITALISTS” & they do not intend to let go of any of it – anytime soon!!!

    Who’s paying for this #3DayHoliday to Britain @ the “HOTTEST” time we’ve had in decades!!!

    The critical point within the histories of reparations always seem to be at the juncture when those seeking repair have themselves gained or regained relative power.

    It’s said that power abhors a vacuum. It may also be said that those who presume to be powerful will never pay reparations to the weak unless their are forced to.

    We’ve commented previously that the people being asked for reparations still believe themselves to be powerful, even as their criminal societies are collapsing, and they themselves have no real resources to pay any reparations.

    France is a case in point, a country which was the fourth wealthiest country in the world a few years ago, is now around number fourtieth. After the centuries of plundering most of Afrika and much of the rest of the world.

    The situation is so bleak for France that it’s insisting that the Sahel States must remain their feifdoms. Moreover, they are using terrorists as their foot soldiers all over Afrika as the means of maintaining colonialism, imperialism.

    Maybe, the anti-colonial, the anti-imperial struggle must be first completed and won before Afrikans have the power to demand the repair of past injustices.

    In total, and we admit that some cultural treasures long stolen have been returned, a few! To return them all, as we suggest, would mean the emptying of all the museum in the White world. And nobody dares go there but Pacha.

    These reparations committees will be no more than the sophisticated begging of Caribbean and Afrikan elites, using our Ancestors and their descendants as fodder. Beckles has gotten some money under the rubric of education as reparatory. But again, all Beckles seeks to achieve is the same as the White people, the continued miseducation of Black people for a pittance.

    Mendicancy?

    Black nations of the Caribbean calling for countries that continue to achieve economically from the backs of our forefathers’ mendicancy?

    Killing them, purging their way of life? Blotting history with their egregious actions. A necessary call for them to prioritize reparation as an act of atonement is considered mendicant behaviour?

    We may never get the reparation being asked in physical dollars, but for the sake of our dignity, demanding what is right from those countries that treated our forefathers as nothing more than ‘things’ to be owned is a no brainer.

    We must continue to demand it until end times. This is not about receiving money at this stage, it is about doing good on behalf of our forefathers who lie uncomfortably in their resting place.

    No sir, this is not mendicancy, this is being true to our Black heritage. We will remind them of this indelible blot in their history and ours until thine rh kingdom come.

    You obviously have no idea what you are asking.
    Reparations shiite!

    ‘Reparations’ apply to situations where someone has done an injustice, and is requested or required to make appropriate compensation. Like a lawyer stealing client funds for example.

    Let’s say that the descendants of the slave owners agrees with Sir Cave and his band of misguided jokers – and apparently with you…
    What level of ‘reparation’ would be acceptable and adequate to bring us back to par…?

    Do you even understand what an INSULT it is, …given the HUNDREDS OF YEARS OF SUFFERING, DEHUMANIZING TREATMENT, SYSTEMIC GENOCIDE, treatment worse than animals… that our fore-parents ENDURED – to even contemplate such a path???

    You would tek MONEY in exchange for dat?!!
    Well – not stinking Bushie!!!

    Shiite man!
    That is exactly like those women who are somehow routinely able to settle for a couple thousand dollars from the pedophilic, inhuman, predators, that abuse their children – and who then allow the demons to escape the LEGAL consequences of their debauchery.
    …only in THIS case, it is MANY BILLIONS of times worse!!!

    NOT FOR SHIITE!!! …Not Bushie!

    The ONLY justifiable retribution for what Bushie’s grand parents endured, that can bring ANY kind of EQUITY to the situation …can ONLY be had in the Court of Karma.
    The preliminary Hearings of which are already in session.

    In the meantime, our RESPONSE should be to ;
    – To UNLEARN the albino-centric eddykation shiite that CONTAMINATES our minds with foolish ideas about the value of ‘money’.
    – REDISCOVER our heritage of royalty and of preeminence as a SPECIALLY BLESSED people.
    – To RELEARN the core characteristics that fueled our initial blessed status
    – To be a LIGHT to the rest of the world of what endurance, LOVE, faith, hope, and patience actually means.

    …CERTAINLY NOT to be running around behind the VERY DEMONS that took advantage of our distraction into brassbowlery to treat us like animals, …BEGGING them for favors.

    Steupsss
    What the Hell wunna will buy with the shiite money anyway…?
    Is it not OBVIOUS that their dollars are headed directly towards worthlessness?

    Have a little Pride do!!!

    You neglected to tell the blog that it was Pacha, and Pacha alone, who has brought that ‘Hearing” to the court of your Boss Man and you as vice-gerent.

    But your judgements are beyond the understanding of the plebs, the pragmatists, those who will sell everything for a bowl of porridge. They are prostitutes! Slaves still!

    Has Beckles not proven himself to be a White man? Has he not deceived us too many times before? Are the political elites in Barbados and Afrika not proven themselves as charlatans willing to sell us out at the altar of Whiteness?

    The path towards reparations is the industrialization which those begging for reparations refuse to accept the necessary work involved. Instead begging, the slave masters becomes the only way of saving themselves, not Afrikan descendants. Begging industrialized!

    And anybody who thinks that this project is any different to any other propaganda device will end up in a hell well-deserved.

    The socalled American Indians are owed hundreds of billions by the American government going back for hundreds of years and that government continues to ignore the judgements of their own courts all this time even as the genocide continues.

    We posted Mia Mottley waxing lyrically about shiite. Again she is critical of Russia for fighting against White supremacy in Ukraine, fascism, even as Russia has and continues to do more than any other to genuinely help to free Afrikan people. Mia Mottley is the play thing, the mascot, of her European association of wickers and bullers.

    Not a word was ever uttered from her about the terrorist war France and the rest of the White world are continuing against Afrikan peoples. Not a word! That bitch can only bark at Russia. Not a word about the Western series of illegal wars against Iran. To her these are acceptable imperial and colonial crusades. Her mind sees no link between these and her thin reparations discourses.

    Mia Mottley, Hilary Beckles and their retinue of acceptable beggars are all sell-outs. Including in the hall the great sell-outs is he here who not so long ago thought it “nostagic” to venerate the Ancestors, while having no problem with saving the White culture of an Anglican church. All of a sudden that fucker pretends to have feelings for Afrikan Ancestors because money maybe payable.

    Weeee say burn them all in hell, today!

    We do not have to read Hilary Beckles if some are blinded by his bio. There are many scholars that have written peer reviewed papers on the subject of reparations. The blogmaster is currently reading a 61 page paper on the matter. So the blogmaster is not worried who disagrees in this space, others more qualified agree and this is the nature of the beast about a subject that is contentious given its history.

    Here are a few authors available to read on the matter. There are a few well known names from the Caribbean and beyond.

    Britta Redwood, Richard Drayton, Chevy Eugene, Keston Perry, Candia Mitchell Hall, Tavis Jules, Nigel Brissett, Karen Bell, Ramona Biholar, Indrarajah, Giselle Thompson, Jada Torres, Amna Khan, and Sonjah Stanley Niaah.

    The blogmaster also checked the archives going back to 2009 and a reread of the comments make for interesting reading.

    Reparations is about slowly in this lifetime making White people respect Black people enough to acknowledge the wickedness of their institutional and national crimes against humanity all for their love of money under the guise of alleged superiority over other members of the human race.

    When Obama won Presidency in 2008 it caused a swing to the gutter politics, dishonesty and stupidity of Conservatives that we see today.

    I could go on and on..

    You are merely confirming your mental enslavement to the paramountcy of MONEY and materialism as is ENDEMIC in the albino-centric culture.
    This is the insidious effect of our eddykashun system.

    You therefore think that money, and material restitution, can be used as adequate COMPENSATION for brassbowlery.
    This is the thinking that created the Epstein class, the plantocracy, and the current crop of political traitors that lead this world.

    Unfortunately for ALL OF US, the REAL factors that rule this project called ‘Life on Earth’ are SPIRITUAL. Money and material possessions are mere incidental trinkets that are, if anything, DISTRACTIONS to the real spiritual realities.

    – The wages of sin WILL be death!
    – Justice REQUIRES “an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth” – and WILL be administered by Mother Karma – no matter how inconvenient it is for brass bowls.

    Mother Karma CANNOT be brought off with $$$$ – unlike some albino-centric converts with black skins.

    For YOUR information (NOT for Pacha’s), the ONLY thing that is able to ‘BUY-OFF’ mother Karma …is the unprecedented SACRIFICE that was made on a Cross by a special ‘being’ who GAVE UP being GOD, …to become a BB human (- albeit a ‘bushman’) and thereby PAID AN ACCEPTABLE PRICE that CAN over-ride Karma’s inevitability.

    If albino-centrics REALLY wanted to pay reparations, they could simply repent of their historical predispositions towards greed, hate, selfishness, and spite – and turn to Love, Godliness and community-centricity instead.
    Fairness, justice, community focus, and PEACE would then surely follow…

    LOL
    If however, they just GAVE Sir Cave $100,000,000 Billion, – we ALL know that they would be back (with their mighty weapons and their global corporations), to extract $2,000,000,000 Billion from us within a damn year…

    Steupsss…
    But feel free to keep on reading your 61 page nonsense – written by Sir Cave’s academic disciples… following the ‘blind’,

    What a WASTE!!!

    There were a lot of people who followed the Columbus logic too!

    Beckles’ biography is well known to this writer. Indeed, we must apologize for helping him to establish such. For helping to build the monster which he has become.

    Certainly, as a writer well-schooled in the Western academy and having contributed to such peer-reviewed processes, nobody here is in any position to draw our attention to such. Daily, we are informed about citations of such works. This is how the academy operates, people join certain popular logics. Most of these end up in cul-de-sacs.

    We have even defended the academy here when others were trying to denigrate Beckles from the mentality of a man in the street, not really understanding what Western scholarship meant, its methods. How can it be properly critiqued if its internal methods are unknown.

    More importantly, the academy has a way of following trends, especially when the “elect” carries discourses acceptable to those which are deemed to be consistent with the powerful. Look at Cave Hill, there are long established fiefdoms and what comes out of there are functions of the demigods in charge.

    And then a cottage industry is given birth of students and other academicians building other arguments to buttress the trend as developed by the one who is now deemed to be logically sound.

    Of course, par for course, there must be academics, and others too, who are suggesting robust antithesies to the popular reparations discourses but those would not be cited by you. That does not follow pragmatism. Weee would have thought that the pragmatic approach would have been to build power, end colonialism, end imperialism, before demanding reparations.

    Maybe someday some here would recognize that Columbus did not fall off the earth. That Beckles and the reparations discourses which he has recently rebirthed were as misleading as the Enlightenment scholarship which itself was the intellectual foundations for the very reason why some now fight for reparations again.

    Beckles is a fraud! And so are these discourses regardless to how many people looking to gain academic notice continue to join that bandwagon. Mia Mottley is a fraud, unable to find any other national developmental ethos but industrial begging.

The blogmaster invites you to join the discussion.
