Britain's Attorney General, Lord Hermer, secretly advised Caribbean nations on slavery reparations.
With potential claims against the UK reaching £18 trillion, the issue stems from a 2013 initiative by Caricom, inspired by a successful Kenyan case against Britain.
The 10-point plan set by Caricom aims for reparative actions, but Britain's current stance is non-payment.
Upcoming talks in 2025 could intensify the debate, as the Caribbean nations revisit historical injustices.
Meanwhile, there are unresolved conflicts regarding Lord Hermer’s involvement and governmental impartiality.
