A/69/318 and data collection. The Working Group calls upon States to take the necessary action and implement its recommendations: Equal access to justice 59. The principles of restorative justice should be applied in addressing access to justice for people of African descent. 60. Young people of African descent should benefit, including, when appropriate, through the provision of special measures, from access to quality education and appropriate professional orientation in order to have access to positions in the judiciary and administrative institutions at the highest levels. 61. States should prioritize prevention and the institutionalization of care in order to ensure that institutionalization of young people is a last resort. 62. States should recognize the intersectional nature of discrimination on the basis of gender, religion, ethnicity and other forms, keeping in mind that perpetrators of multiple forms of discrimination are not always cognizant of the fact that they are racially discriminating. 63. Appropriate education and training for young people of African descent should be provided in order to prevent unemployment, social stigmatization, police profiling, and brutality. 64. Quality, free legal aid should be offered for women of African descent who are in need, so that access to justice is available to everyone. Information about legal services and legal centres should be easily available and widely distributed, especially among groups facing multiple forms of discrimination, such as women of African descent. Regular training and education about their legal rights and available services should be provided to people of African descent. 65. Guidelines should be adopted for the prevention, recording, investigation and prosecution of racist or xenophobic incidents. Guidelines should guarantee that people of African descent who are victims of acts of racism, especially women of African descent as victims of multiple forms of discrimination, receive proper treatment in police stations, so that complaints are recorded immediately, investigations are pursued without delay and in an effective, independent and impartial manner, and files relating to racist or xenophobic incidents are retained and incorporated into databases. 66. People of African descent should be able to effectively seek protection and remedies, through the competent national tribunals and other State institutions, against any acts of racial discrimination and to seek from such tribunals just and adequate reparation or satisfaction for any damage suffered as a result of such discrimination. 67. Judicial remedies in cases of racial discrimination should be easily accessible, prompt, impartial, affordable and geographically accessible. Law enforcement and judicial services shall have an adequate and accessible presence in the neighbourhoods, regions, collective facilities, camps or centres where groups of people of African descent reside, so that their complaints can be expeditiously received. Accessible and youth-friendly reporting systems and services must be in place. 14-59293 15/22
