The call for reparations dates as far back as the late 19th century but reparations have yet to materialise for many of the world’s peoples.  In the 21st century, the movement for reparations has found a new energy and the discourse is shifting as states band together to seek reparations with greater urgency.

Patronella NQABA, Program & Impact Lead (Africa) at the Atlantic Institute, facilitates a conversation on Africa Day, 2023 about the frameworks for global equity and reparations, focusing on building a culture of repair.

(1) Aria FLORANT, Co-Founder of Liberation Ventures & Atlantic Fellow for Racial Equity.
(2) Evie O'BRIEN, Executive Director, Atlantic Institute & Atlantic Fellow for Social Equity.
(3) Makmid KAMARA, Director of the African Transitional Justice Legacy Fund & Atlantic Fellow for Social & Economic Equity.

Frameworks for Global Equity & Reparations | A Florant, E O'Brien & M Kamara

In late April 2024, Wellington School of Business and Government was honoured to host Distinguished Professor Dame Anne Salmond to deliver the Sir Frank Holmes Memorial Lecture in Policy Studies.
 
Examining how Te Tiriti o Waitangi and democracy can work together and drawing on global studies of cross-cultural relations in nation states, Dame Anne, Professor of Māori Studies and Anthropology, and a former Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Equal Opportunity) at the University of Auckland, drew on her own research, and that of her peers. She took the audience through a timeline that moved from the democracy that existed before the signing of Te Tiriti through the land wars, the right for all in New Zealand to vote, and to the current day questions around what a fair, wise, and just government might look like: one that has the best interests of all New Zealanders at heart and in mind, and ignores the trap of “Pernicious Polarisation.”
 
Over 150 people sat with every word Dame Anne offered, many questions were answered, with many more arising as a result of the thought-provoking, empathic, and all-encompassing public lecture.
