In reference to section IV of the present report, which introduces potential
pathways to more just approaches to securing thriving livelihoods for all, the Special
Rapporteur recommends that all stakeholders take seriously the exploration of
decolonial pathways;

effects of foreign debt and other related international financial obligations of States on
the full enjoyment of all human rights, particularly economic, social and cultural rights
and the Independent Expert on the promotion of a democratic and equitable
international order, among others, which address the human rights consequences of the
global economic architecture;

The Special Rapporteur welcomes the efforts to create a convention on the
right to development and urges the negotiating parties to centre the principles of racial

protections for indigenous peoples, affirm self-determination and prevent coercive
development of indigenous peoples and racial or ethnic minorities;

All actors should fully implement the recommendations of the Special
Rapporteur contained in her reports on global extractivism and racial equality,134 on
reparations for racial discrimination rooted in slavery and colonialism 135 and
contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related
intolerance,136 as well as the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action.

All development actors should prioritize the meaningful participation,
representation and leadership of racially marginalized peoples, including indigenous
peoples, in the creation of alternative approaches to development and human wellbeing.
