In that document, they stated the need to strengthen national, regional and international cooperation with regard to the full enjoyment of social, economic, cultural, civil and political rights of Afro-descendants, and their full participation in all aspects of life in their societies. For its part, on June 4, 2014, the General Assembly of the OAS, through Resolution AG/RES 2824 also recognized the International Decade of Persons of African Descent.

After discussions within the Committee on Juridical and Political Affairs (CAJP) at its meeting on 19 November 2015, the establishment of a Group work to elaborate a Plan of Action (Regional) to commemorate the International Decade of persons of African descent (2015-2024) was approved by acclamation.
