A/HRC/10/66 page 18 them fully. It furthermore highlights the importance of the principles of non-discrimination and participation contained in the Convention on the Rights of the Child (articles 2 and 12). 111. Being an issue that particularly affects children of African descent, the Working Group recognizes the need for States to strengthen their legal regimes as regards the protection of children and to make all efforts to prevent the disproportionate representation of children of African descent in the juvenile justice system. 112. The Working Group considers that any disparity in healthcare delivery systems that exists in a State that impact negatively on children of African descent constitutes discrimination. 113. The Working Group identifies the issue of poverty as particularly important when analysing the situation of children of African descent and will include this subject in future sessions. The Working Group will also include the issues of social exclusion and marginalization, the right and access to housing, culture and development and the issue of hate crimes against people of African descent. With regard to the last issue, the Working Group intends to engage with the Inter-Parliamentary Union. B. Recommendations 114. The Working Group emphasizes that the current global financial crisis must not be allowed to affect the enjoyment of social, economic and cultural rights by people of African descent, particularly children of African descent, and calls upon States to ensure that this does not occur. 115. The Working Group reiterates its request for OHCHR to establish a voluntary fund to be used to assist NGOs to participate in the sessions of the Working Group. The Working Group also calls upon States to contribute to this voluntary fund. 116. The Working Group reiterates its call upon those States that have not as yet elaborated national plans of action to combat racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, to do so, preferably before the Durban Review Conference is held. Those States that have elaborated national plans of action are called upon to fully implement them and to inform upon such implementation at the Durban Review Conference. 117. The Working Group calls upon States to enhance their support of Groups of Women of African Descent and to adopt special measures to favour young women of African descent in the areas of access to healthcare, employment and education. As a factor that greatly enhances their economic emancipation, autonomy and social and political participation, the Working Group particularly encourages States to adopt measures that facilitate access to education for young women of African descent. 118. The Working Group calls upon OHCHR and States, in collaboration with civil society, to assist it in organizing an international conference on all aspects of the transatlantic slave trade.
