Afrodescendant Fellows at the UN Human Rights office raise issues faced by People of African Descent. The Fellows were part of a group that attended an OHCHR Fellowship Programme for People of African Descent.  It was held from 17 October and 4 November. 

The programme was launched by the Anti Discimination Section to mark the International Year of People of African Descent. 

The United Nations dedicated 2011 to the People of African Descent.
