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.
