Geneva Conference 2026

On Tuesday, 28 April 2026, the Pan-African Progressive Front (PPF), together with the Ligue Panafricaine–UMOJA (LP-U) and the Université Populaire Africaine en Suisse (UPAF), will convene the Geneva Forum on Reparative Justice & Colonial Accountability — a full-day strategic working meeting at Ghandhi Hall, Maison Internationale des Associations (MIA), from 10:00 to 16:00 CET.

Convened in the heart of Geneva’s international human-rights district, the Forum responds directly to the historic United Nations Resolution A/80/L.48, which declared the Transatlantic Slave Trade the gravest crime against humanity. It builds on the momentum of the PPF Global Pre-Conference of 30 March 2026, which consolidated pan-African and diaspora positions on reparations ahead of this Geneva convergence.

The Forum brings together a carefully selected group of political leaders, legal experts, Pan-African intellectuals, traditional leaders, and civil-society organisers — including former heads of state, African Union legal experts, Caribbean reparations advocates, European scholars, and diaspora movement leaders — to translate a historic UN recognition into concrete legal, political, and civic frameworks.

Three Landmark Outcomes

• Launch of the PPF-D Justice Taskforce —  a compact coordinating body responsible for driving global reparative-justice efforts and sustaining multi-generational advocacy across Africa and the diaspora.
• Presentation of the Reparations Advocacy Manual & Toolkit —  a practical resource for civil-society organisations, legal practitioners, journalists, educators, policy makers, faith communities, and allied movements worldwide.
• Adoption of principled positions on the reparations journey —  a formal statement of principles, demands, and strategic vision, to be transmitted to international bodies, governments, and multilateral institutions.
