While finding common ground on matters such as reparations for historical atrocities, a government delegation and one from IDPADA-G differed significantly on the state of the African-Guyanese population here when they made presentations recently at a UN forum.
The International Decade for People of African Decent-Guyana (IDPADA-G) and the Government of Guyana (GoG) addressed the Permanent Forum of People of African Descent Assembly at the United Nations (UN) Headquart-ers in New York. The meeting was held under the theme: “Realizing the Dream: A UN Declaration on the promotion, protection and full respect of the human rights of people of African descent.”
