“The Congolese people are among those who have faced the most oppression throughout history, and one of the main tasks today is to address the consequences of past injustices. I thank the Baku Initiative Group for taking the initiative on this issue,” Paul Nsapu Mukulu, President of Congo’s National Human Rights Commission, said at the international conference titled “101 Years of Injustice under Belgian Colonialism and the Struggle for Reparations,” organized by the Baku Initiative Group, APA reports.
He noted that such initiatives could help identify acceptable and sustainable solutions for both sides, rather than serving the interests of only one party.
Paul Nsapu Mukulu emphasized that human rights institutions and other parties interested in this issue should work on concrete solutions to eliminate injustices that occurred in the past and, in certain forms, continue to this day.
He added that it is not right to view colonialism solely as a historical event, as it is also a human rights issue.
