The next Discussion Group meeting will be on Friday, November 29th, 2024, between 4 pm and 6 pm, in the office on the 1st floor of the Centre Social, Constitution Plaza, Javea. 

The question of reparations for past events is not new. The past few centuries have been marked by the trade in slavery and the removal of important artefacts from countries they belong to during colonialism.

We will discuss whether countries involved in the slave trade should pay reparations today. Surprisingly not all countries involved in slavery are being asked to pay reparations. Which ones are missed? Why?

Another big and more recent package of reparations concerns wars. Which countries continue to pay reparations for wars including WWII? Should they pay and for how long? Which countries were involved in wars but have never paid any reparations?
