The International Decade for People of African Descent, 2015–2024, was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in a Resolution (68/237) adopted on 23 December 2013. The theme of the International Decade was "People of African descent: recognition, justice and development".

On 17 December 2024, a United Nations declaration proclaimed the Second International Decade for People of African Descent, beginning on 1 January 2025, stating that it would be "an opportunity to take concrete actions to confront the legacies of enslavement and colonialism, deliver reparatory justice, and secure the full human rights and freedoms of people of African descent worldwide."
