In the Accra Declaration on Reparations and Racial Healing, the authors identify that slavery, apartheid, colonialism, and neocolonialism were undoubtedly harmful both economically and culturally. In regards to repair, the authors propose that the UN extend the UN Decade for People of African Descent by 10 years. As well, they uphold their own participation in the Global Reparations Movement. The key actors are the UN, as described above, as well as the African people, who have historically suffered for so long. They hope to be able to achieve deeper learning and growth through various summits and commissions, and to promote the importance of equity in all things.

It is interesting to note that there are strong correlations between the demands coming from Africa for justice for historical crimes, and the demands for Afro-descendants in the US. African Americans in the US suffered greatly during the institution of slavery in the 1800s, and the demand for reparations from that continues into today. There seems to be a divergence, though, as the demands coming from Africa focus on the individuals living in Africa itself, whereas those of Afro-descendants in the US focus on the US, correspondingly.
