CARICOM opened its first Regional Reparations Conference in Kingstown, St Vincent and the Grenadines, with Grenada among the 12 member states represented. The conference treated the afterlives of Indigenous dispossession, the slave trade, and chattel slavery as linked regional questions. It called for national reparations committees and a regional body to coordinate historical research, public education, diplomacy, and proposals for redress. Grenada's participation placed the island's own plantation history within a Caribbean-led reparatory justice programme.
