practices, and create a well-resourced outreach programme for information and
advocacy with regard to the document;
(b) Fully support and participate in the important work of the Durban
follow-up mechanisms, including the Group of Independent Eminent Experts on
the Implementation of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action, the
Intergovernmental Working Group on the Effective Implementation of the
Durban Declaration and Programme of Action, the Working Group of Experts
on People of African Descent and the Ad Hoc Committee of the Human Rights
Council on the Elaboration of Complementary Standards to the International
Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination;
(c) Publicize the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action and its
follow-up processes, including by publishing the document in additional
languages, producing a shorter and more accessible summary of it and
promoting the work of its follow-up mechanisms;
(d) Use the International Decade for People of African Descent and the
Permanent Forum for People of African Descent to encourage the
implementation of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action and the
development of the United Nations anti-racism framework. In so doing, ensure
that these programmes are not used to move away from the historically informed
and structurally grounded framing of the document and that these institutions
are transparent and accessible to people of African descent, in particular groups
who are usually excluded from human rights norm creation;
(e) Seek opportunities for collaboration between mechanisms dedicated
to the various groups mentioned in the Durban Declaration and Programme of
Action, including Human Rights Council special procedures on matters
pertaining to racism, indigenous peoples, people of African descent, women,
trafficking in persons, contemporary forms of slavery, persons with disabilities,
migrants and other issues;
(f) Reinvigorate efforts to involve youth in Durban Declaration and
Programme of Action implementation and recognition efforts, including by
convening follow-up events focused on experiences of racism among young
people;
(g) Ensure that United Nations entities outside the human rights system,
including United Nations humanitarian, environmental, development, financial
and health agencies, develop racial justice strategies in which racism is
recognized as operating within and between States, and ensure that those entities
work to dismantle economic, political, environmental and cultural systems that
reinforce racist and neocolonial structures.
