Restitution is one of the items.
“The colonial past creates responsibilities that must be assumed collectively by France and the international community,” said Pierre Ericq Pierre, Haiti’s Permanent Representative to the UN, who took part in the discussion.
According to the Haitian ambassador, the country’s enduring inequalities are rooted in its colonial past and the burden of the “ransom.”
In his view, restitution would only be far. “This isn’t about revenge,” he said. “It’s about truth and justice.”
