A/HRC/50/60
international human
recommends:
rights
obligations.
The
Special
Rapporteur
therefore
(a)
Multilateral development institutions should continue their institutional
and programmatic reforms to advance racial equality, ensuring that their commitment
to racial justice goes beyond surface level to tackle structural and systemic racial
discrimination; in cases where they have not done so, those institutions should adopt
comprehensive and human rights-based racial equality strategies;
(b)
United Nations agencies and multilateral development institutions should
recognize and materially support their employees who are internal advocates for racial
equality and should ensure that people of African descent, indigenous peoples, people
of Asian descent and other racially marginalized peoples of diverse backgrounds are
placed in leadership positions and guaranteed equitable and supportive work
environments;
(c)
The Inter-Agency and Expert Group on Sustainable Development Goal
Indicators should refine its global Sustainable Development Goal Indicator Framework
to call for specific, racially disaggregated indicators and lead discussions with custodian
agencies on developing concrete plans to incorporate race and ethnicity data;
(d)
Member States and multilateral development institutions should consult,
utilize and institutionalize the operational guidelines on the inclusion of people of
African descent adopted by the Working Group of Experts on People of African
Descent in the 2030 Agenda: the Special Rapporteur considers the guidelines to be a
vital document for all development actors;
(e)
Member States, United Nations agencies and multilateral development
institutions should review the reports analysing international development
programmes and the 2030 Agenda produced by the Special Rapporteur on minority
issues, the Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples and the Working
Group of Experts on People of African Descent;
(f)
All actors should recognize caste and descent-based discrimination as a
form of racial discrimination and implement the principle of “leave no one behind” in
order to challenge caste-based discrimination and all forms of caste- or descent-based
racism through the Sustainable Development Goals;
(g)
Member States should:
(i)
Collect, compile, analyse and publish reliable statistical data
disaggregated by race or ethnicity for each relevant Sustainable Development
Goal, target and indicator in the 2030 Agenda: States should consult OHCHR
guidance on taking a human rights-based approach to data and the report of the
Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent on “data for racial
justice”;133
(ii)
Identify racism and racial discrimination as key barriers to development
and provide racially or ethnically disaggregated data as a basic expectation of
their voluntary national reviews: Member States should expedite the creation of
national action plans against racism and ensure that these plans are not isolated
from development commitments under the 2030 Agenda;
(iii) Ratify the ILO Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989 (No. 169)
and implement its provisions, particularly the free, prior and informed consent
principle and the right of self-determination;
(iv) Respect the right to self-determination of all racially marginalized peoples
who are affected by major development projects and ensure that racial and
ethnic minorities and indigenous peoples are granted adequate consultation,
participation and control in relation to development projects;
