A/HRC/53/60 of her mandate. 15 The Special Rapporteur wishes to thank all the Member States that submitted information to inform the present report. She notes the information provided about trends in racial discrimination and the measures being taken by States, including information on national legal frameworks, data collection and awareness-raising measures. 40. The Special Rapporteur also wishes to recognize the work of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) on racism and racial discrimination, including the High Commissioner’s agenda on transformative change for racial justice and equality and work on other forms of discrimination that fall within the scope of her mandate. While reinforcing her independence as a Special Rapporteur, she wishes to express her commitment to collaborating with OHCHR on such issues. She is aware of the appointment of anti-racial discrimination advisers in OHCHR regional field offices. She welcomes this initiative and extends her cooperation to the advisers. The Special Rapporteur is also aware of previous collaboration between other United Nations entities and previous holders of her mandate, including the General Assembly, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the United Nations Children’s Fund, the United Nations Development Programme, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN-Women) and the World Health Organization. She appreciates this cooperation and intends to continue such collaboration with entities working on racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance across the United Nations. She is of the view that efforts to eradicate all forms and manifestations of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance should be mainstreamed across all of the work of the United Nations. She places a high degree of importance on continuing such engagement and cooperation with a wide range of United Nations entities. 41. The Special Rapporteur is also aware of regional mechanisms addressing racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, including the Rapporteur on the Rights of Persons of African Descent and against Racial Discrimination, established by the Organization of American States; the Working Group on Indigenous Populations/Communities and Minorities in Africa, established by the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights; and the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance. The Special Rapporteur envisages additional engagement and collaboration with these regional mechanisms and intends to include such work as one of the priorities in the fulfilment of her mandate. 42. As outlined above, the Special Rapporteur also intends to continue and expand cooperation and engagement with civil society organizations representing people of African descent; Indigenous Peoples; those experiencing descent-based discrimination, including on the basis of caste; those experiencing racism and xenophobia in the context of migration; those experiencing all forms of nationality discrimination; and those subjected to religious discrimination, including but not limited to antisemitism and Islamophobia. 43. The Special Rapporteur is aware of the important role that national human rights institutions and anti-discrimination bodies play in addressing racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. She intends to work with such institutions to the greatest extent possible and encourages their cooperation during the implementation of her mandate, including through the submission of information to inform her thematic reports. C. Intersectionality 44. In line with the relevant international human rights law instruments in which the Special Rapporteur intends to ground the fulfilment of her mandate, including the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action, and the approach taken by her predecessors, the Special Rapporteur intends to integrate an intersectional approach to racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance into all elements of her work.
