LONDON (Reuters) - All three candidates running to become the next secretary-general of the Commonwealth, a 56-nation club headed by Britain's King Charles, said on Wednesday they supported reparations for transatlantic slavery and colonialism.
The Commonwealth evolved out of the British empire and is one of world's biggest international organisations, covering some 2.7 billion people. Members include Canada and India as well as 21 African countries, and Caribbean islands such as Barbados and Jamaica.
