Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the calls for international reparations at the International Conference on the Crimes of Colonialism in Africa, under the African Union's 2025 theme "Justice for Africans and People of African Descent Through Reparations"; and what assessment they have made of any potential implications for the United Kingdom.

The UK is committed to a strong, forward-looking, relationship with the African Union (AU). We are working with the AU and other African partners to tackle the most pressing challenges of today including security, growth and climate change and building partnerships for the future.
