The World Conference against Racism adopted the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action, a major global framework that names slavery and the transatlantic slave trade among grave human-rights wrongs and calls for action addressing their enduring consequences. The declaration emerged from struggles led by people of African descent and other racialized communities, including demands for recognition, justice, and reparations. Its adoption did not create a binding compensation mechanism, and governments have contested how its commitments should be carried out.
