Compensation: Providing monetary restitution for economic losses stemming from these harms. Restitution: Restoring freedom, reuniting families and recognizing the humanity, identity and culture of Black people. Rehabilitation: Offering care and support for healing from the trauma caused by these injustices. Cessation and Non-repetition: Transforming systems and structures to prevent the recurrence of such harms.
