Jamaica hails King’s decision to refer slavery reparations petition to privy council as ‘really big deal’
Jamaica's culture minister stated on Tuesday that King Charles referred Jamaica's slavery reparations petition to the London-based privy council for legal advice. The petition asks if forced transport of Africans was lawful, if it was a crime against humanity, and if Britain must provide restitution. Jamaican officials believe a privy council opinion might influence negotiations and establish a precedent for other Commonwealth nations pursuing reparations.
