Idk, i think it should have reparations, like, if for hundreds of years, robbing, killing, enforcing servitude of tens of millions of people for the enrichment of a few countries should make these countries pay. It gave these countries the backbone to todays "welfare states", the industrial revolution was kickstarted on the cotton and sugar fields that these enslaved people worked, etc, etc, etc.

I don't care about the legality, the wording, the whatever, it seems pretty clear to me that this should happen, and them giving this response shows that basically they don't care and never cared.

I don’t agree with them, I’m just saying the headline is wrong.
