Inter-American Forum of
Afro-descendants, Dominican Republic, 2009
The Inter-American Forum of Afro-descendants was held in the
Dominican Republic, on January 15 and 16, 2009. At the
event, in addition to facilitating the participation of
Afro-descendant representatives, having made initial efforts
to create a regional network, the Department of
International Law gave a presentation on the status of the
Draft Inter-American Convention against Racism and All Forms
of Discrimination and Intolerance. In addition, the document
on regional standards of protection was unveiled for the
first time and had a significant influence on the text of
the final declaration of the forum prepared by the
participants. A report on the above Forum was published in
OAS Newsletter No. 6.
