Since the 1990s, I have been studying the Atlantic slave trade to Brazil. Gathering knowledge in order to repair damage is a stimulus for further research. I am glad to support this Committee.

The SCORES proposal has the great merit of promoting history research, carried out in universities of various countries. Thus, it will be able to exercise its fundamental function of explaining the origins of the present through centuries of international division of labour. Moreover, the commitment to reparation values transformative social projects of all kinds. In this way, SCORES promotes the interrelation between past, present, and future, promoting civilizing values of respect for human rights. I am happy about the invitation to participate in SCORES as a foreign supporter.
