The official Commonwealth Heads of Government communiqué, released on 5 November, welcomed the United Kingdom government’s agreement to engage affected parties in structured, time-bound, inclusive and good-faith dialogue about the transatlantic trafficking of enslaved Africans and its historical harms. It noted African Union and CARICOM initiatives on reparatory justice and cultural restitution and UN General Assembly resolution A/RES/80/250. The communiqué records an opening for dialogue; it does not announce compensation or a reparations settlement.
