What happened, for context

Jamaica is petitioning King Charles III on Monday, 7 September 2026, to refer three questions about the legality of enslavement in Jamaica and Britain's legal duty to provide redress to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. The petition marks Jamaica's formal legal campaign for slavery reparations and is timed to coincide with the 1781 anniversary of the Zong slave ship sailing from West Africa.
