Nesta quinta feira, 18 de abril, o Terceiro Fórum Afrodescendente realizou evento paralelo “Atualizando a justiça reparatória: reparações para crimes de escravatura através de uma lei descolonizada”

Such a pleasure to be part of this conversation, to imagine new horizons for repair, and discuss how pushing iLaw in the right direction can transform both present and future. Thank you especially to Emergent Justice Collective for bringing us all together! 💜

Looking so forward to this discussion with wonderful colleagues. I’ll share some takeaways from our collaborative work with the formidable Patricia Sellers and reflect on the injustices that continue to riddle iLaw. Join us!

In its first report, the Permanent Forum affirmed that #reparations for enslavement, the slave trade, colonialism & apartheid is a 'cornerstone of justice in the 21st century.'
