Commonwealth leaders have agreed that it's time for a conversation about reparations for the transatlantic slave trade. The UK has faced growing calls to apologize and pay reparations, but Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has reiterated that the country will not pay financial reparations.

The decision comes after a two-day summit in Samoa, where 56 heads of government signed a document acknowledging calls for discussions on reparatory justice.
