The Global Afrikan Congress (GAC) is an international organisation created to equitably redistribute global resources and to fight against the repression and racism faced by Africans and their descendants. To do so, the GCA demands reparations for the exploitation of men and women of African descent, and fights for the recognition and respect of Africans and people of African origin.
The GAC was organized in October 2002 in Bridgetown, Barbados and is a direct outgrowth of the African-African Descendants Caucus (AADC) formed before the 2001 United Nations World Conference on Racism (UNWCAR). Organized by attorney Roger Wareham, the AADC became the leading voice of Africans throughout the world during the UNWCAR. The AADC was instrumental in getting the Transatlantic slave trade declared 'a crime against humanity', and opened the door for a direct, legal action against nations and corporations that benefited from the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
The GAC continues the AADC's work and is now organized in 35 nations. Its constitutional convention, held in October 2004 in Paramaribo, Suriname, ratified a document considered by many to codify the direction in which the Pan-African movement should move during the 21st century.
