MISSION STATEMENT
AFRIKAN WORLD REPARATIONS AND REPATRIATION TRUTH COMMISSION (AWRRTC) is a non-profit commission comprised of Continental and Repatriated Africans living in Ghana. The Truth Commission was mandated and formed by the participants of the First Emancipation Day Celebrations held in August 1998, in Accra, Ghana. AWRRTC is an Ancestry everywhere to determine their own ancestry. |
AWRRTC is committed to the promotion of Reparations and Repatriation of All African People (the Pan African World) who were directly affected by the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade and Colonialism. AWRRTC is seeking fraternal alliances with all organizations, governments, societies, of African Descent, who are striving to redeem Africa and her descendants. Moreover, we see Reparations and Repatriation to serve as one of the strategies to regain our inherent Cultural Heritage and legacy. This is primarily to build Africa and communities in the Diaspora, where African descendants are trapped in the cycle of poverty, racism, and de-Africanisation of the mind, body, spirit, and soul.
To this end, we encourage all Africa nations to institute a Universal Law of "RIGHT TO RETURN!" for all descendants of enslaved Africans of the Diaspora. Additionally, we appeal to All African nations to grant a "NO VISA STATUS" to all descendants of enslaved Africans of the Diaspora. Finally, AWRRTC strives for the reclamation of our African Culture and Heritage, as we enter the 21st Century.
OBJECTIVES:
- To promote, advocate, and advance the Pan-African unification of the African Continent and Race.
- To serve as an Information Centre for All Africans and descendants of Africa, by providing services such as educational programmes that will forever bridge the Cultural Gap between Continental Africans and Diasporan Africans, through the use of multimedia information techniques, and the Internet.
-
- To vigorously seek economic Reparations and effect Disbursement of the same to all Africans
- To seek economic and social Reparation benefits for the African World.
- To act as a vehicle to lobby African Governments to seek Reparations & Repatriation from those nations who participated in the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade and Colonialism, for the "crimes committed against humanity" meted out to Africa and her descendants.
- To establish a Repatriation Secretariat to assist Diasporan Africans returning to their "ancestral" homeland.
- To organize a Truth Commission to unite the efforts of the entire African World that will speak with one voice to the United Nations and the International Court of Justice demanding the unconditional cancellation of Africa's debts owed to Western lending institutions
Also, AWRRTC will demand reparational payments to Diasporans for the human rights abuses, meted out for over 400 years, as a result of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade and Colonialism, carried out by Western European nations and the USA.
