King Charles and Sir Keir Starmer are expected to face demands for the UK to pay £200 billion in reparations for its involvement in the slave trade at the upcoming Commonwealth summit in Samoa on October 21.
A group of 15 Caribbean governments has agreed to push for reparations during the meeting. This follows Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley's recent call at the United Nations for reparations for slavery and colonialism to be part of a "global reset."
However, there are strong arguments against it, citing historical responsibility, temporal distance, and the complexity of identifying beneficiaries.
