‘Time has come’: Commonwealth heads agree to reparatory justice dialogue despite reluctant UK

UK government stresses it does not pay reparations and said before Chogm summit that issue was not on agenda

Commonwealth leaders have resolved that the time has come" for a conversation on reparatory justice despite the UK's insistence that the issue was not on their agenda.

The language, agreed at the Commonwealth heads of government meeting (Chogm) on Saturday, is a blow to the UK, which wanted to avoid reparatory justice being mentioned.
