The new position is set out in a Caricom working document that expands a 10-point reparations manifesto first produced in 2014. That earlier plan, which was rebuffed by successive UK governments, called for measures ranging from a formal apology to debt cancellation. The updated version adds the question of overseas territories to what Caricom describes as a broader call for reparative justice. According to the Caricom Reparations Commission, the issue goes beyond compensation for slavery alone. The expanded proposals also seek redress for the later use of indentured labour after abolition, climate change, and the effects of slavery on women, who are described as having been sexually exploited and denied family life. Caricom argues that these harms were part of the same historical system and still impact the region today.
