The
Boukman Institute is a nonprofit public policy think tank. Our major
objective is to promote a new critical conversation on the human rights
of African Americans informed by the language of international human
rights law, and be instrumental in shifting the American political
paradigm from a domestic civil rights model to an international human
rights model. The Boukman Institute seeks to direct African Americans
towards the United Nations (UN) and the international community for
technical, political and economic assistance in their struggle for human
rights, social justice and equity.
