WORK HISTORY
Member of the United Nations Permanent Forum on People of African Descent @United Nations Human Rights
In August 2021, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution that created the Permanent Forum on People of African Descent as “a consultative mechanism for people of African descent and other relevant stakeholders” and “as a platform for improving the safety and quality of life and livelihoods of people of African descent.” The Permanent Forum also operates as an advisory body to the Human Rights Council, in line with the program of activities for the implementation of the International Decade for People of African Descent and in coordination with existing UN mechanisms promoting action to combat racism against people of African descent. On December 16, 2021, I was elected to the Permanent Forum for a 3-year term in a vote held by the United Nations General Assembly as one of the founding members of the body.
