The UN & the Black Panthers

The UN & the Black Panthers

The United Nations and the Black Panther Party, Larry Pinkney, formerly a member of the Black Panther Party, co-chair of the San Francisco Black Caucus, Minister of Interior of the Republic of New Africa, and Chairman of the Black National Independence Party is the only American citizen and former Black Panther Party member, to have successfully self-authored a civil/human rights case to the United Nations Human Rights Committee (UNHRC), which he did while undergoing the brutal conditions of incarceration.

The decision by the UNHRC in the case of former Black Panther Larry Pinkney, was subsequently ratified by the United Nations General Assembly in New York City. The case had been successfully litigated by Pinkney to the UN under the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The UNHRC ruled that Pinkney had been violated under the specific provisions of international law, Article 14 (3) (c), and Article 14 (5) of the International Covenant On Civil And Political Rights. [See the German Yearbook of International Law, Volume 28, copyright 1985, page 51; and the book entitled, Report of the Human Rights Committee - General Assembly; official records: Thirty-Seventh Session - Supplement No. 40 (A/37/40)] United Nations, copyright New York, 1982, pages 101, 108, & 113] ]

This is the only recorded case under international law, that directly connects the United Nations to a successfully self-authored case by a former member of the Black Panther Party thereto.
