Jamaica files slavery reparations petition to King Charles, who declines to meet delegation
–
Neutral summary
A Jamaican government delegation filed a petition for slavery reparations addressed to King Charles III on Monday, September 7, but the monarch did not meet the delegates, staying at Balmoral. The petition, which Culture Minister Olivia Grange called a “historic moment,” asks the King to refer three questions about the legality of slavery and Britain’s potential obligation to provide a remedy to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, Jamaica’s highest court of appeal. The delegation also plans talks with the British Museum about repatriating cultural artefacts, including three 15th-century wooden “zemi” objects created by the Taino people. Reports say Jamaica is seeking £7.6 billion in reparations, and Grange noted that Britain was paying off debt linked to slave-owner compensation until 2015.
