Korean Atomic Bomb Victims Organize Peoples Tribunal For Justice

May 4, 2026 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. Featured Campaign, Podcast - Clearing The FOG Atomic Bombs, health, Japan, Korea, Nuclear Weapons, Reparations, United Nations

In 1945, tens of thousands of occupied Koreans were forced to live in Japan, primarily as impoverished workers. When the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 70,000 Koreans were impacted. Though they and their succeeding generations have been severely harmed by the exposure to radiation, they still have not received recognition, an apology or compensation for their suffering. A delegation of atomic bomb victims just completed a tour of the United States and testified before the United Nations. Clearing the FOG speaks with Shim Jin-tae, Han Jeongsun and a representative of Solidarity for Peace and Reunification of Korea (SPARK) about their experiences and their struggle for a nuclear-free world.

Reparations For Slavery: A Legitimate Struggle

April 23, 2026 Guillermo R. Barreto, People's Dispatch. Strategize! colonization, Global South, Racism, Reparations

When one person hurts another, common sense dictates that the person should apologize and, preferably, make amends for the harm they may have caused. Apologize, make amends, and ensure it won’t happen again. These seem like basic rules of coexistence. Coexistence among people, but also among sectors of a society and among entire nations. History shows us that coexistence is not the norm. Colonialism and exploitation have been present, but the perpetrators of these crimes rarely acknowledge them. The colonization of what is now called the Americas (beginning in 1492) is an example.

Shortcomings And Benefits Of The UN Resolution On Transatlantic Trafficking

April 15, 2026 Jacqueline Luqman, Black Agenda Report. Educate! African Union, Reparations, Slavery, United Nations

The UN General Assembly recently adopted a resolution that designates the trafficking of an estimated 13 million Africans to be condemned to generations of enslavement throughout the European colonies in the Americas as "the gravest crime against humanity." By adopting the resolution, the UN legitimizes demands for reparations, including the immediate return of stolen cultural artifacts, formal apologies, and the establishment of bodies and frameworks in the affected countries to meet those demands.

March 26, 2026 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. Educate! Collective West, Reparations, Slavery, United Nations

The United Nations General Assembly held a vote on a resolution denouncing the transatlantic slave trade as “the gravest crime against humanity”. The countries of the political West refused to formally condemn the mass enslavement and trafficking of Africans. The vast majority of UN member states, which are in the Global South, supported the resolution, with 123 votes in favor. All of Europe abstained, except for Serbia. There were 52 abstentions in total. Just three countries voted against the resolution: the United States, Israel, and Argentina’s right-wing regime of Javier Milei.

Reparations, Justice Must Come

February 27, 2026 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. Educate! Colonialism, Marco Rubio, Munich Security Conference, Reparations

We live in an upside-down world. The leaders of the richer nations, the old colonial powers, want to rehabilitate the language of imperialism: praise for their past, and a desire to repeat that messianism in the present. Meanwhile, the peoples of the poorer nations agitate for peace and development, as well as for an apology for the crimes of colonialism and reparations for the plunder carried out during that period. The slogan from the people is simple: ‘Justice must come’. It rumbles now but will grow louder with time.

From all over the country and from more than 40 nations, Black women began to arrive in the federal capital last week for one of the most important political mobilizations of the decade. This new edition of the National Black Women’s March brought not only the symbolic weight of memory, but also the affirmation that the historical moment calls for more protagonism, more confrontation of institutional racism, more public policies, and more spaces in power for those who sustain the country and continue to be most affected by inequalities.

Asserting the “inalienable right of Africans and people of African descent to full reparations” for “slavery, colonialism, apartheid, and systemic exploitation”, an international Pan-African conference on November 18 and 19 adopted the Accra Declaration on Reparatory Justice. Mandating the establishment of a “Pan-African Reparatory Justice Coordinating Committee” and laying out the next steps to be taken, the Accra declaration signalled “a new era of coordinated global action on reparatory justice,” said the Pan-African Progressive Front (PPF). A global platform undertaking research, advocacy, and grassroots mobilization to strengthen the Pan-African movement, the PPF organized this event to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the historic 5th Pan-African Congress in October 1945 in Manchester, England.

The Reparations Movement: Flourishing Amid Backlash

October 21, 2025 Peter Certo, Institute for Policy Studies. Organize! City Government, Racism, Reparations, State Legislatures

Across the United States, the demand for reparations has moved from the margins of debate to the center of local and state politics. While federal legislation has stalled for decades, cities like Evanston, Illinois, and Tulsa, Oklahoma, as well as states like California, are pioneering concrete steps to repair the harms of slavery, segregation, and systemic racism. From housing initiatives and educational funds to community development projects, these efforts are reshaping how justice can be pursued in practice. In his new report for the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung New York Office, author John Feffer examines the resurgence of the reparations movement at a time when national politics are marked by backlash and regression on civil rights.

How Displaced Black Families Won Reparations In Portland

August 2, 2025 Marianne Dhenin, Next City. Strategize! Displacement, Gentrification, Portland, Racism, Reparations

For decades, the Albina district in Portland, Oregon, was the center of the city’s Black community. Local musicians transformed the neighborhoods into a hotspot for the West Coast’s jazz, blues and soul music scenes, earning Albina the nickname “Jumptown” in the 1940s and ‘50s. Milestones in Oregon’s civil rights struggle grew out of meetings in Albina’s parks and gathering halls. It was residents of Albina who started a citywide tree-planting program responsible for many of Portland’s now-famous blooming cherry trees. But by the ‘70s, much of it was gone.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in an interview published on 31 July that Tehran is seeking financial compensation for Israel’s war, an explanation on why Iran was attacked during negotiations, and security guarantees for any resumption of nuclear talks with Washington. Araghchi told the Financial Times (FT) that Iran will not accept going back to “business as usual” after Israel launched its unprovoked war on the country in mid-June. “They should explain why they attacked us in the middle of … negotiations, and they have to ensure that they are not going to repeat that [during future talks]. And they have to compensate [Iran for] the damage that they have done,” Araghchi added.

Tulsa, Oklahoma – Exactly 104 years after Tulsa’s local government deputized white men to loot, bomb, burn, kill and kidnap Black residents of the Historic Greenwood District, the city’s first Black mayor announced the creation of a historic plan for reparations on Sunday. Inside the Greenwood Cultural Center on the first annual celebration of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Observance Day, newly elected Mayor Monroe Nichols announced the creation of a Greenwood Trust that will be used to collect $105 million to address racial disparities impacting Massacre survivors, descendants and the majority Black residents of north Tulsa.
