E/CN.4/2001/21 page 13 24. With regard to other topics, Cuba would like to bring some proposals to the attention of the Special Rapporteur, which it believes may contribute to the international struggle against the offence of racism, on the eve of the World Conference. These include the following: 1. Establishment of a new economic order, at national and international level, founded on equity, solidarity and social justice, allowing a redistribution of wealth among countries and within countries; 2. Adoption of the target of universal ratification of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination by the year 2005; 3. Immediate withdrawal by States parties of their reservations regarding article 4 of the Convention and consolidation of the universal prohibition of propaganda of a racist nature and any association founded on such precepts; 4. Development of programmes of positive discrimination at national and international level in favour of countries, peoples, minorities, ethnic groups, races, migrant workers or groups of any kind exposed to discrimination, such as to promote real equality of opportunities and access to all the benefits thereof; 5. A change in the pattern of financing the main activities of the Third Decade, which should be funded from the ordinary budget of the United Nations; 6. Creation of a programming structure within the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to promote activities in the struggle against racism, racial discrimination and related forms of intolerance. The attention given to this matter by the Research and Right to Development Branch of the Office of the High Commissioner is inappropriate and insufficient. A fourth branch should be created within the Office’s structure, which would deal with everything related to combating all forms of discrimination and promoting the rights of minorities, indigenous populations, migrant workers and other vulnerable groups; 7. Further work on the gradual development of international human rights standards, in order to ensure that they give a rightful place to the rights of solidarity; 8. Increased efforts must be made to finalize negotiations of the Draft United Nations Declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples; 9. Promote the ratification of the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families; 10. Develop positive action policies and programmes in favour of helping individuals, groups and peoples exposed to discrimination to fully enjoy their rights; 11. Give appropriate priority to general and human rights education programmes, the prime objective of such efforts being the eradication of illiteracy;
