Today, the African Union ECOSOCC/Civil Society Pre-Submission Symposium on the 2025 African Union Theme of the Year—“Justice for Africans and People of African Descent through Reparation”—was successfully conducted.
The symposium provided a platform for stakeholders, experts, and civil society organizations to discuss reparations for African citizens and people of African descent. Participants examined historical injustices, their lasting impact, and strategies to advocate for justice and restitution.
Key discussions focused on political and social reparations, the role of international institutions, and the need for a united approach to addressing historical wrongs. The symposium reinforced the AU’s commitment to justice, equity, and the rights of Africans and the African diaspora.
