Aneta Dybska will offer an overview and analysis of the modern Black reparations movement, with a focus on the incorporation of international human rights law into the activism and advocacy for reparations for slavery. After the murder of George Floyd in 2020, numerous truth-telling initiatives, known from transitional justice contexts, have mushroomed across American communities, seeking interracial reconciliation and healing. But it was the California legislature that established the first ever Reparations Taskforce whose Final Report, published in 2023, is a blueprint for a nationwide study of the historic harm of slavery and ongoing discrimination, and puts forward a range of reparative measures to redress the harm. Despite never having been a slave state, California has become a testing ground for reparative justice solutions including, but not limited to, restitution, compensation, and guarantees of non-repetition.
