UN proclaims a second International Decade for People of African Descent

๐Ÿ“… 17 December 2024 ๐Ÿ“ Brazil

The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution establishing a second International Decade for People of African Descent, continuing the global framework for recognition, justice, and development into 2025โ€“2034. Brazil was among states supporting the initiative. The renewal reflected persistent demands that governments move beyond symbolic recognition toward action on racism, historical injustice, and reparations. Like the first decade, the resolution provides a platform and political commitment rather than an automatic mechanism for compensation or enforcement.
