June Sommer from Saint Lucia is the new Chair of the United Nations Permanent Forum on People of #AfricanDescent currently taking place in Geneva.

During the Human Rights Council's #HRC55 session last month, she underlined that 'the fight against racism is a collective responsibility.'

2/ 'Yesterday the #US gov't assrted here in this forum that it is committed to promoting and protecting the #HumanRights of people of #AfricanDescent . But as it was saying that, it resumed deportation flights to #Haiti . Yesterday, President Biden sent 74 #Haiti ans back to Haiti.'

Mientras el racismo estructural y la discriminación sistémica agudicen el retroceso de los derechos afrodescendientes en el mundo, los motivos para conmemorar este día cobran sentido.
