Türk urges nations to address systemic racism and poverty through reparatory justice.

UN High Commissioner Volker Türk says reparatory justice is essential to dismantling systemic racism. While acknowledging progress in anti-discrimination laws, he warns that people of African descent continue to face discrimination and higher poverty rates due to the legacies of colonialism and enslavement. He urges nations to strengthen laws and include youth in decision-making to combat these enduring inequalities.
