1991
Abuja, Nigeria

During the fifty-fourth ordinary session in Abuja, held between 27 May and 1 June 1991, the Council of Ministers of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) agrees a 'Resolution on Reparation for Exploitation and Slavery in Africa'.

In this resolution, the OAU recognizes that the 'crimes committed against Africa and Africans in the Diaspora have largely contributed to its present economic and social under development' and sets out its intention to seek reparations from 'those powers responsible for the centuries of damage to Africa'. To assist with this, the resolution calls for the establishment of a 'Group of Eminent Persons'.
