Statement: 

Definition of the term ‘reparations’: 'Reparation must, as far as possible, wipe out all the consequences of the illegal act and reestablish the situation which would, in all probability, have existed if that act had not been committed' (Chorzow rule). The full and comprehensive global Afrikan reparations (cessation, guarantees of non-repetition, restitution, compensation, satisfaction and rehabilitation) that are due by international law will restore Afrikan sovereignty, thereby abolish capitalism and stop the destruction of the Earth by the criminal and criminal system that was set up illegally on the fundament of transatlantic enslavement.
