Jamaica will send a government delegation to the United Kingdom on Sept. 6 to formally present a slavery reparations petition to King Charles III, seeking legal clarification on Britain’s responsibility for the transatlantic slave trade and its lasting impact on the Caribbean, The Guardian reports.

According to Jamaican officials, the petition asks the monarch, in his capacity as Jamaica’s head of state, to refer questions to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council regarding whether Britain has a legal obligation to provide reparations for slavery. The effort is backed by the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and follows the release of the CARICOM Reparations Commission‘s updated reparations manifesto in June 2026.
