The AU’s 2025 Theme of the Year marks another significant milestone in the conscious institutionalization of reparatory justice and racial healing in Africa.
This initiative aims to develop a Common African Position on Reparations, establish an African Reparatory Programme of Action, and strengthen collaboration with the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the global African diaspora through a Joint Mechanism on Reparations.
These efforts are crucial in ensuring that Africans and people of African descent receive justice in tangible and transformative ways. #YearofReparations
