BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Reparations Commission (CRC) has welcomed the apology issued by Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte for the Netherlands’ involvement in the slave trade in Suriname.
However, it has indicated that more is required.
In a statement, the CRC, which since 2013, has been actively pursuing reparations for Native Genocide and African Enslavement from the former colonizing nations of Europe, said it “welcomes this statement which it views as long overdue to the victims of the trans-Atlantic trade in enslaved Africans, chattel slavery in the Caribbean and their descendants.
“However, the Prime Minister did not commit nor signal his government’s intention to enter into reparations negotiations with CARICOM, Africa, and the Indigenous Caribbean communities, who suffered genocide and enslavement at the hands of the Dutch state and its agents for over 300 years,” it added.
