Understanding the Phases of Reparatory Justice Registration

 




Understanding the Phases of Reparatory Justice Registration

 

Introduction

This document explains the multi-phase process being used to deliver reparatory justice to those classified as Black (IC3) or mixed-Black (IC6). It is designed to ensure that every participant is treated fairly, respectfully, and within a culturally appropriate framework — whether their ancestry is from the African Diaspora or the African continent.

 

Participation in this process is entirely voluntary. The purpose of registration is to build a strong and trustworthy foundation for recognition, assessment, and eventual reparatory justice.

Who is Eligible? Understanding IC3 and IC6

This process follows the UK race and ethnicity code system used by official institutions:


- IC3 – Black: Includes individuals of African, Caribbean, or Other Black heritage.

- IC6 – Mixed-Black: Includes individuals of mixed heritage such as:

- White & Black Caribbean (M1)

- White & Black African (M2)

- Other Mixed-Black backgrounds

 

These categories are inclusive of historic and contemporary identities such as Mulatto, Quadroon, Octoroon, Remnaroon, and all who identify with the legacy of Blackness.

The Five Phases of Registration

Phase 1: Expression of Interest

- A simple, anonymous form to declare your interest.

- No names, contact details, or traceable data are collected.

- Forms are submitted to trusted Black-led organisations.

- This phase tests community readiness and helps shape the rollout of later phases.

 

Phase 2: Detail Level 1 – Lineage & Place of Birth

- Participants provide more detailed ancestry information.

- Diasporic individuals describe country/cultural origin.

- African individuals list Tribe, Clan, and Sub-clan.

- Also includes place of birth for self and close ancestors.

 

Phase 3: Detail Level 2 – Appearance & Cultural Practice

- Participants describe visual ethnic appearance and cultural identifiers (e.g. language, names, clothing, religion, food habits).

- This phase recognises that ancestry is not just biological but also behavioural and cultural.

 

Phase 4: Detail Level 3 – Supporting Materials

- Optional but encouraged: photographs, family trees, oral histories, community references, documents.

- These materials help build a strong, self-authored record of Black identity and heritage.

 

Phase 5: DNA Consent & Investigation

- Participants may choose to consent to DNA testing.

- This phase aims to support or confirm lineage — especially when records are incomplete.

- Consent is formal and no test is conducted without permission.

The Five Recognition Criteria

To ensure fairness, applicants are evaluated holistically across five aspects:

1. Place of Birth

2. Lineage (including Tribe, Clan, Sub-clan)

3. Appearance / Visual Ethnicity

4. State of Mind / Habits / Cultural Behaviour

5. DNA Evidence (with consent only)

 

You do not need to meet every criterion fully. The process honours diversity in how Black identity has survived — through blood, memory, community, and culture.

Role of Black-Led Organisations

Each trusted Black-led organisation will:

- Distribute Phase 1 forms

- Manage collection and reporting according to their own methods

- Decide whether to participate in later phases

- Build their capacity for reparatory management

 

Participants may submit expressions of interest through multiple organisations.

 

Note: Forms are not to be sent directly to any central authority. They must be handled through Black-led organisations trusted by the community.

About The Reparation Nation Limited

The Reparation Nation Limited is the current coordinating entity responsible for constructing the future Black organisation that will lead reparatory justice delivery.

It is not the final Black organisation, and does not process individual expressions of interest at this stage.

 

Its purpose is to:

- Oversee the design of the reparatory justice infrastructure

- Monitor and learn from the participation of trusted Black organisations

- Support the formation of a strong, community-approved Black governance structure

 

This phase runs in parallel with the building of that central organisation.

Next Steps

Once Phase 1 is complete:

- Organisations will be informed of next steps.

- Individuals who wish to continue may proceed to Phase 2 through designated channels.

 

This is a process of repair and responsibility — led by Black people, for Black people.

 

By participating, you support not just your own claim, but a movement toward dignity, redress, and cultural restoration for our communities.
