Henry: Only Parliament can make reparations decision
Aug 09, 2013
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Observer - OPPOSITION Member of Parliament Mike Henry, says he has tabled his resolution on reparations again in Parliament, in an effort to force a political decision on the matter in the House.
"What we need is a political decision, that will enable us to take the matter to the International Court of Justice to value the economic costs," Henry told the Jamaica Observer.
Responding to reports that at the 34th Regular Caricom meeting in Chaguaramas in July, 15 Caricom states had agreed to seek reparations for slavery and genocide, Henry said that the decision could not be made by the Caribbean Community (Caricom), but by the parliaments of the member countries speaking on behalf of their respective citizens.
