An alternative voice united to dismantle structural racism.

An alternative voice united to dismantle structural racism.

The International Coalition of People of African Descent (ICPAD) is a global platform that brings together Afro-descendant human rights activists and defenders, academics, and grassroots organisations working in Africa and the African diasporas to dismantle the anti-Black systems of oppression. Created in the context of the United Nations (UN) International Decade for People of African Descent (IDPAD), 2015-2024, ICPAD asserts that the humanity of Afro-descendant people can be restored through a collective struggle that entails a socioeconomic and political decolonial reparations framework to confront the injustices of conquest, transatlantic slavery, colonialism, and neocolonialism.

Our Work

Advocacy

We actively advocate at both national and international levels to encourage the UN and its Member States that combating the insidious legacies of slavery and colonialism requires unwavering political boldness that cannot be appeased merely by an international decade, Permanent Forum for People of African Descent (PFPAD), or a Declaration on the Human Rights of People of African Descent.

Connections

The Coalition works with member organizations in their respective regions to fully implement the Durban Declaration and its Programme of Actions (DDPA). The DDPA was adopted by consensus at the 2001 World Conference Against Racism in Durban, South Africa.

We stand in solidarity with organizations and movements that are fighting against structural racism and advocating for transformative reparations for Afro-descendant people due to crimes against humanity committed through the transatlantic slave trade and colonialism.
