Senior Advisor/Elder of the Repair Campaign Dr Ralph Gonsalves, Jamaica's Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness, and Barbados Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley have been invited by the Government of Ghana to serve on the newly established Global Advisory Council on Reparatory Justice.

The council is expected to provide high-level political guidance and strategic leadership on reparatory justice while strengthening cooperation between Africa, the African diaspora – including the Caribbean – and partner institutions.

The invitation follows Dr Gonsalves' participation in a high-level consultative conference held in Accra, Ghana, in June to advance the implementation of United Nations General Assembly Resolution A/RES/80/250 on the trafficking of enslaved Africans and the racialised chattel enslavement of Africans.
