International Affairs Commission
The N'COBRA International Affairs Commission (NIAC) works closely with Africans, African descendants and supporters of reparations for Africans and African descendants throughout the world.
It helped run the World Conference Against Racism (WCAR) and the Non-Governmental Organization Forum and government conference held in Durban, South Africa August 28-September 8, 2001. Its members were also active in the African and African Descendants Caucus that was formed during the WCAR preparatory process.
NIAC understands the connection among the status of Africans and African descendants in the United States, throughout the Diaspora, Africans on the Continent and Africa. N'COBRA and NIAC acknowledge that the success of the movement for reparations for Africans anywhere advances the movement for reparations for Africans and African descendants everywhere. [2]
