1. We recommend all State members to embrace the General Assembly resolution
proclaiming the International Decade for People of African Descent by creating
laws ensuring comprehensive and affirmative actions aimed at fostering the living
conditions of the Africandescent by the year 2015.
2. We endorse and urge States members to adopt recommendation number 13, 17
and 25, where minority people can enjoy their rights of fair representation in all
decision making-bodies, ensuring the compliance with recommendations of the
CEDAW whereby Afrodescendant women can occupy jobs where their voice and
opinion are fundamental in decision-making and are not only for numerical
purposes.
We call upon member States to adopt recommendation number 19 by developing
effective public policies and mechanism of consultation and participation process for
Minority people, incorporating the role of civil society to guarantee accuracy and
consistency on the result of the processes.
4. We urge the Forum to include a new recommendation: Consultation and consensus
with minority people should take place before pursuing any action that may result in
negative impact on minority; such as the cases of land, territory and cultural
patrimony, in accordanbe with the ILO Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention,
CESCR, Declaration on the Rigths of Persons belonging to National or. Ethnic,
Religious and Linguistic Minority.
