UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer indicated potential support for non-financial reparations to some Commonwealth nations, such as debt relief, educational initiatives on slavery, and economic aid.

However, he ruled out a formal government apology for Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade.

The call for reparatory justice gained momentum at a Commonwealth summit in Samoa, with Caribbean nations leading the push, advocating for cultural institutions to restore historical memory, Semafor has reported.

King Charles acknowledged the “painful” history of slavery but did not address reparations in his remarks.
