United Nations Permanent Forum on People of African Descent

The United Nations Permanent Forum on People of African Descent is an entity of the United Nations whose purpose is to contribute to the political, economic, and social inclusion of Afro-descendant individuals. It was created by consensus of the UN General Assembly on August 2, 2021, through resolution 75/3141 at the request of the former Vice President of Costa Rica, Epsy Campbell Barr, as "a consultative mechanism for people of African descent and other relevant stakeholders as a platform for improving the safety and quality of life and livelihoods of people of African descent, as well as an advisory body to the Human Rights Council, in line with the programme of activities for the implementation of the International Decade for People of African Descent and in close coordination with existing mechanisms".
