RASTAFARI NATION IN JAMAICA
REPARATIONS INVOICE
This Rastafari Reparations Invoice is prepared with the following points in mind:
1. While the Rastafari Nation has long campaigned for Reparations and Repatriation, no itemized list of costs has ever been submitted to the proper authorities.
2. There will be a priority need for the establishment of Welcome Centers in Africa to receive and house new arrivals. The centers should be run like the Israeli kibbutzim, which provided housing, medical care, food and offices with information on jobs, available housing developments, etc. Example of such Welcome Shelters can be found in the tent cities set up by Saudi Arabia to house millions of Haaj pilgrims each year. The proposal seeks to establish 5 such Shelters across the Continent in those countries chosen by a majority vote of Rastafari for re-settlement.
3. There will be a priority need for excellent medical care for new residents in each of the 5 selected re-settlement nations, not only to help them overcome indigenous African medical problems that will face them, but also provide high class medical care to help Africa reduce its health problems. A sum of Five Billion Pounds is suggested as necessary to establish one multi-purpose Hospital in each of these Welcome Shelters.
4. There will be a need to purchase transportation by air and sea. These vessels can also be used for merchant shipping and tourism by the new residents. There will also be a need for agricultural equipment, technology and other modern machines. Research has already been done to determine the costs of items listed. Suggestions are requested as to other items for this list.
5. A sum of One Million Pounds annually for 10 years is suggested as individual Reparations to each new resident, irrespective of the size of each family. Costs are being calculated on the estimated number of Jamaican Rastafari as 500,000 men, women and children. The suggestion to award the sum in annual payments to each, will curb any desires for excessive spending and will encourage investment for enterprise and interest accumulation.
6. A category has been listed for “Reparing Economic Sabotage and Displacement”. Recommendations for costs and other categories under this heading are sought.
7. A 5-year Contingency fund has been recommended, to cover unexpected costs, and also to cover certain administrative expenses.
This Proposal recommends the following actions:
* The Rastafari Nation in Jamaica will request the United Nations Human Rights Commission to establish a Reparations Fund, supervised by persons appointed by the UNHCR with the approval of the Rastafari Nation in Jamaica, to administrate the distribution of funds received as a result of this petition. This will enable strict and open supervision and distribution of funds and remove Rastafari individuals from direct involvement and charges of fraud, theft, etc.
The RASTAFARI NATION in Jamaica pledges to contribute 10% of all Reparations payments received, to the 5 African nations that permit the establishment of Repatriation Welcome Centers, and invite the re-settlement of Rastafari in their countries for the benefit of Africa’s development.
