OBJECTIVES

The objectives of this workshop are as follows:

(1) To investigate whether political instability particularly in Africa and Latin America, and illiteracy, poverty, health disparities, diseases, drug abuse and violence in the Caribbean, America, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, especially within minority communities, are the direct results of colonization and slavery, and if so what can and should be done to correct them.

(2) To investigate whether minority communities in the developed world and developing countries should continue to depend upon International Monetary Fund loans, monetary, food and drug donations from western countries as the answers to the eradication of illiteracy, diseases and poverty, and if not, what can and should be done to correct the situations?

(3) To investigate whether the deliberate looting, killings, raping, kidnappings and trading of Africans, America Indians, Asians, Aboriginal people of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Island as slaves and human commodities by Europeans, can be compared to the atrocities committed against Jews in Nazi German camps in Europe, and if so, whether their descendants are entitled to reparations?

(4) To create global awareness about the indispensability of people of color in the development of a new world order;

(5) To connect natives and people of color to their roots by preparing them to acknowledge their ancestral and sacred traditions and cultures;

(6) To prepare, mentor and empower young people of color for leadership roles in global affairs;

(7) To promote mental and spiritual healing, racial reconciliation, freedom, equality and social justice in every community of the world;

(8) To advocate for the elimination of all forms of slavery, human exploitation and social injustices across the world; and

(9) To support UNESCO’s effort in raising awareness about World Heritage issues and the importance of conservation and preservation of ancient monuments and landmarks which link the diverse peoples of the world to their past and future.
