A/HRC/33/61
69.
The Working Group encourages development agencies and financial
institutions to develop and implement programmes to address the human rights
situation of people of African descent. The Working Group endorses, and
recommends to development agencies and financial institutions for their serious
consideration, the CARICOM Ten-Point Action Plan on reparations, including its
points on public health initiatives, rehabilitation, technology transfer and debt
cancellation.
70.
The Working Group encourage States, civil society and other relevant actors to
actively oppose negative stereotyping of people of African descent on the basis of
ethnicity, religion and origin, with a specific focus on hate speech and incitement to
hatred through media and political statements. The Working Group suggests the
adoption of measures to prohibit and sanction the use of negative stereotyping.
Furthermore, positive steps should be taken to create a space for the African
perspective, one that will enable a more informed view.
71.
States are called upon to promote full and accurate inclusion of the general
history of Africa and to recognize in educational curricula the important contribution
of people of African descent.
72.
States are urged to develop comprehensive national action plans for tackling
racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, Afrophobia and related intolerance,
including by reinforcing national institutions, legislation and the administration of
justice, as well as by creating competent national bodies to tackle racial discrimination
against people of African descent in all its manifestations.
