The Government of Ghana has confirmed that French President Emmanuel Macron will deliver a keynote address at the upcoming Next Steps Conference on Reparatory Justice, to be hosted in Accra by President John Dramani Mahama.
The announcement was made by Ghana’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, in a social media post on Tuesday.
President Macron is expected to welcome a good faith dialogue on historical injustices against Africans and outline France’s commitment to reparatory justice. His participation follows the landmark adoption of the Ghana-led United Nations resolution declaring the transatlantic enslavement of Africans as the gravest crime against humanity.
The conference is anticipated to serve as a pivotal platform for advancing global consensus on reparatory justice, with Ghana playing a leading role in shaping the international agenda.
