The author identifies various harms inflicted on people of African descent due to historical injustices like slavery, colonization, and segregation. They highlight the intergenerational trauma, inequality, disenfranchisement, and loss of cultural heritage that have resulted from these injustices. In terms of repair, the declaration proposes various forms of redress, including formal apologies, restitution, rehabilitation, compensation, and guarantees of non-repetition. It calls for recognition of the rights of victims, transformation of institutions and structures that perpetuate racial inequality, and the promotion of racial healing and reconciliation. The key actors involved in this declaration are the perpetrators of historical crimes (such as colonial powers and slave traders), the victims (people of African descent who have suffered from these injustices), and advocates for justice who support reparations and racial healing. The results that the authors hope to achieve through the declaration include recognition of past injustices, acknowledgment of the continuing impact of these injustices, and the implementation of policies and actions that promote justice, equality, and healing for people of African descent. There are clear connections between the demands for justice coming from Africa for historical crimes and the demands from Afro-descendants in the US and other parts of the world. Both groups are seeking acknowledgment of past wrongs, reparations for the harms inflicted, and transformative change to address ongoing racial inequality and injustice. The demands from both groups converge in their call for recognition, repair, and reconciliation. However, there may also be divergences in the specific forms of repair and redress that are being sought by different groups. For example, there may be different views on the appropriate level of compensation, the mechanisms for delivering reparations, and the role of cultural healing and reconciliation in the process. These differences may reflect the diverse contexts and experiences of people of African descent around the world, but ultimately the shared goal of seeking justice and healing remains at the core of both sets of demands.
