It is the sense of Congress that the Department of State, through the Office of Global Criminal Justice, the Office of the Special Envoy for Holocaust Issues, and similar offices, has developed expertise in assisting countries in their transitional justice efforts, including measures that are judicial and non-judicial, formal and informal, retributive and restorative, to redress atrocities with the goal of promoting long-term, sustainable peace and security. There is authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary such sums as may be necessary— to appoint a Special Envoy to assist African descendants of the transatlantic slave trade to seek restitution and support remembrance; to establish an intergovernmental working group on transatlantic slave trade transitional justice strategies, including reparative justice strategies; and to create policy and research exchange programs for established and emerging United States and international leaders, scholars, and practitioners focused on transatlantic slave trade transitional justice strategies and advocacy, including reparative justice strategies.
