To the Human Rights Council, the High Commissioner for Human rights and the General Assembly of the United Nations

In the midst of growing international calls that Black Lives Matter and the enduring legacies of enslavement and colonialism be repaired, we – the undersigned – express our strong support for the UN Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent, urge the UN to more vigorously insist on the effective implementation of the International Decade for People of African Descent 2015-2024, and also call on the UN to heed the growing international call for reparatory justice.
