Rights Groups Urge Macron to Pay Reparations to Haiti
Over 60 organizations call for accountability for colonial-era debt
More than 60 human rights organizations have called on French President Emmanuel Macron to commit to reparations for Haiti, citing the historical injustice of colonial-era indemnity payments demanded after Haitian independence.
The groups argue that France’s extraction of wealth from its former colony contributed to persistent poverty and underdevelopment.
They urge Paris to acknowledge its role and support economic justice measures during upcoming diplomatic talks with Caribbean nations.
