A/68/329 45. In accordance with the provisions of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, a three-year plurinational plan for the elimination of racial discrimination and ethnic and cultural exclusion — the anti-discrimination plan — was adopted in 2009. Its main objective is to eliminate the various forms and systematic practices of racial discrimination and cultural and ethnic exclusion and to promote a diverse, intercultural and inclusive citizenship through the public policies of the State at the national level. 46. The first focus area of the plan is justice and legislation, which is coordinated by the Ministry of Heritage in cooperation with the Ministry of Justice, Human Rights and Religion, the Office of the Ombudsman and the Ministry of National Defence. OHCHR provided support in implementing technical training. Four modules were developed on the collective rights of peoples and nations: one specifically for the armed forces, another for the national police, the third for justice officials and the fourth for the Office of the Ombudsman. A total of 47 authorities and officials of those institutions received training on collective rights in participatory workshops with national and international experts to enable them to take responsibility for replicating such training within their organizations. The armed forces and the national police will include the modules on collective rights in the curricula for their training courses. The modules were published in 2012, with a print run of 1,200 copies for each module. 47. These tools also contribute to raising awareness of the legal mechanisms that are in place for referring complaints of discrimination, xenophobia and any other form of exclusion or restriction, thus improving access to justice on an equal basis and promoting the right to information. 48. The Government reported that progress had been made in disseminating the international human rights instruments that it had ratified and signed, notably by publishing legal texts in ancestral languages, beginning with 1,000 copies in Shuar. 49. The anti-discrimination plan also focuses on education, communication and information. The Government considers the promotion of education based on cultural diversity to be the essential foundation for eradicating all forms of discrimination and violence. 50. The intercultural bilingual education system has been strengthened through the editing and publication of dictionaries, teaching materials and textbooks in ancestral languages: Sioni, Cofán, Waodani and Achuar. 51. There is also a programme to set up community radio networks in the territories of 13 nations — Achuar, Amazonian Kichwa, Huaorani, Andoa, Zápara, Shiwiar, Shuar, Sioni, Secoya, Cofán, Tsáchila, Awá, Chachi and Epera — with a total of 14 community radio stations. The programme includes the training of new indigenous broadcasters to operate and present programmes in their territories. 52. The Coordinating Ministry for Heritage organized an international symposium of indigenous and Afro-descendant women writers in 2010 and 2011 and an international symposium of women poets of the Americas in 2012, in conjunction with the publication of anthologies of the poetry and stories of indigenous and Afro-Ecuadorian women. 53.
