Une conférence sur le Dialogue Afrique-Caraïbes autour de la justice réparatrice s’est tenue les 2 et 3 juin 2025 sur le campus Future Africa de l’Université de Pretoria. Cet événement a été organisé et accueilli dans le cadre d’une collaboration entre le Centre des droits de l’homme de l’Université de Pretoria, la Chaire de la Fondation nationale sud-africaine pour la recherche (NRF) en droit constitutionnel international, l’Université des Bahamas, l’Université de Goma, le Forum des juges et juristes d’Afrique, ainsi que le Comité national du Bahamas sur les réparations.
