Synopsis

In October 2021, after close to seventy years since the historic We Charge Genocide petition was brought to the United Nations by Paul Robeson, William Patterson, and W.E.B. DuBois (in absentia), a historic gathering took place in New York City asserting that genocide was still being perpetrated within the USA. The International Tribunal on US Human Rights Abuses Against Black, Brown, and Indigenous Peoples brought together original Black Panthers and civil rights campaigners, Puerto Rican independence activists and Native American elders, along with scores of supporters from across the empire. An independent panel of jurists was made up of nine experts in international law, genocidal practices, human rights policies, indigenous cultures-all to hear testimony on five counts of US governmental abuse. After intense review, the independent panel, in a verdict released at the Inter-faith Church Center for the United Nations, unanimously affirmed: the US remains GUILTY OF GENOCIDE!
