Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has outlined Ghana’s key demands under the country’s Reparatory Justice Agenda, calling for fundamental reforms to the global economic, development and governance systems.
According to the Minister, Ghana’s reparatory justice agenda goes beyond addressing historical injustices and seeks to promote a fairer international system that gives developing countries greater economic and political space.
Speaking at a press briefing during his recent three-day working visit to Russia, Mr. Ablakwa identified several key areas of focus.
They include the transformation of the global economic and development architecture, as well as reforms to global governance institutions, particularly the United Nations Security Council.
The Minister also highlighted the need to support initiatives that advance technology, innovation and capacity building, describing this as an important component of what he referred to as digital justice.
Other demands under the agenda include debt relief, the protection of national sovereignty, and the pursuit of economic liberation and emancipation for developing countries.
Mr. Ablakwa said the agenda is intended to contribute to efforts to reshape an international system that, in Ghana’s view, has historically placed developing countries at a disadvantage.
The Minister’s comments formed part of Ghana’s broader diplomatic engagement during his three-day working visit to Russia, where discussions also focused on strengthening bilateral cooperation between the two countries.
