Ghana will convene an international conference on reparatory justice in June, following the United Nations adoption of the resolution that recognises the transatlantic slave trade as the gravest crime against humanity.
The Ghana Ministry of Affairs, in a statement on Monday, announced that the conference will be a three-day meeting, taking place from 17 to 19 June in Accra.
The event will be hosted by Ghana's President, John Mahama, who also serves as the African Union's champion for reparations.
