A/HRC/60/77 mechanism to guide the process; and refrain from excluding prima facie compensation as a form of reparation; (c) Support States, academics, civil society and other interested parties in the mapping and meta-analysis of the concerns, initiatives and approaches related to reparatory justice for Africans and people of African descent, including their legal, political and economic underpinnings and the assessment of their success; (d) Convene a group of eminent experts and scholars to document, analyse and summarize the legal determinants, economic and financial considerations and political implications and ramifications of the pursuit of reparatory justice in the diverse legal frameworks of former enslaving and colonizing States and their successor regimes; (e) Hold a high-level meeting to examine the issues, concerns and pathways related to reparatory justice for Africans and people of African descent with a view to establishing the appropriate international body or mechanism to provide technical support to Africans and people of African descent in their claims, monitor progress, ensure accountability and oversight and ultimately bring resolution and closure. 106. The Working Group recommends that Member States, the United Nations and the international community: (a) Maintain attention on and support for addressing racial, environmental and digital justice, with due regard to their intersections with reparatory justice; (b) Integrate the pursuit of reparatory justice for people of African descent into the implementation of the Second International Decade for People of African Descent, provide the necessary technical and financial resources for implementation and guarantee the protection of activists and advocates for the rights of people of African descent; (c) Ensure that reparatory justice is a central theme of the draft United Nations declaration on the respect, protection and fulfilment of the human rights of people of African descent; (d) Make every effort, in collaboration with academics and researchers, to institutionalize norms of ethical and legal conduct in the application of digital technologies to promote and support reparatory justice; (e) Ensure that reparatory justice documentation and materials are published in child-friendly language and made accessible to young people of African descent; (f) Guarantee accessibility by publishing materials on how to access protection, immigration procedures and services in languages commonly spoken within migrant communities of African descent, such as Haitian Creole. 107. The Working Group recommends that Member States adopt research- and evidence-based approaches to assess the harm caused to people of African descent by the legacies of the past, racism and racial discrimination as a prerequisite for reparations. 108. The Working Group recommends that civil society organizations or groups promote activities that support and engage with processes of deep sharing through self-narration, storytelling and other sharing circles. 109. Lastly, the Working Group recommends that the United Nations facilitate the formal recognition, acknowledgment and apology owed to Haiti for the discrimination suffered through enslavement and colonization, compounded by the financial demands made upon its independence, and the restitution of those payments as an integral element of reparatory justice for Haitians. 16
