publicized through the anti-discrimination database;
(l) To increase their participation in the Durban follow-up mechanisms
and provide adequate financial support so that those mechanisms can continue
their operations with efficiency, transparency and adequate resources.
Particular emphasis should be placed on facilitating civil society access to the
Durban process, including by financing the participation of civil society
representatives from the global South or providing resources to host sessions in
the global South;
(m) To ensure that, in addition to their legal reforms, their economic,
cultural, political, humanitarian and development practices conform with the
Durban Declaration and Programme of Action. The Special Rapporteur

and equitable international order;
(n) To collect, compile, analyse, disseminate and publish reliable
statistical data disaggregated on racial or ethnic grounds, in order to address
individual and group racial inequities associated with the design and use of

collection and storage of data.

bodies and institutions that can effectively monitor the implementation of the
Durban Declaration and Programme of Action and other human rights
commitments;
(c) Plan inclusive, transparent and consistent follow-up events for
assessing the implementation of the Durban Declaration and Programme of
Action in a variety of contexts. Such events should enable the participation of
States, civil society and grass-roots advocates.
