As proclaimed by the General Assembly, the theme for the International Decade is “People of African descent: recognition, justice and development.”
In proclaiming this Decade, the international community is recognizing that people of African descent represent a distinct group whose human rights must be promoted and protected. Around 200 million people identifying themselves as being of African descent live in the Americas. Many millions more live in other parts of the world, outside of the African continent.
