GLANPAD is a network of international human rights lawyers and practitioners of African descent around the world. GLANPAD’s proposed mission is to dismantle systemic barriers and achieve reparatory justice, environmental justice, social and global justice for Africans and people of African descent through the synergy of strategic litigation and advocacy. The goal is to build a global network that facilitates collaboration, shares critical knowledge, enhances capacity, and supports unified actions around litigation and advocacy across continents. By connecting the African continent with its Diaspora in a uniting and powerful force, GLANPAD strives to establish a comprehensive reparatory justice agenda that leads to concrete and enduring change.
GLANPAD launched during the 3
rd Session of the Permanent Forum on People of African Descent and since then, has formed a Steering Committee and 5 working groups building toward its mission. GLANPAD seeks to hold a side event at the 4
th session of the Permanent Forum on People of African Descent to further build on the establishment of a global network, begin to share its strategy around the nexus of strategic litigation and advocacy, and to conduct a consultation on potential case types and approaches for strategic litigation related to reparatory justice.
GLANPAD seeks a venue within UN headquarters that can serve at minimum 50 people for a period of 1.5 hours. At this time, the dates are subject to any availability that can be had between 9am and 6pmET and not to conflict with plenary sessions.
