Lloyd’s of London and Church of England also to be approached over role in past exploitation
National reparations commissions in the region will also approach Lloyd’s of London and the Church of England with demands of financial payments and reparative justice for their historic role in slavery.

There’s a actual difference here in two ways. Firstly racialized transatlantic chattel slavery was a massive break from the slavery that had been practiced before in the form of those three adjectives. But also the European mainland suing Scandinavia for reparations, the entirety of Europe, Middle East, and North Africa suing Italy for reparations, and Iraq and Iran suing Iraq for reparations are materially different from some of the poorest countries in the world suing the royal family of a wealthy nation that still has an empire for reparations.
