Interlinkages between recognition, justice and development 2016, para. 53
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The systemic discrimination and the construction of structural and institutional invisibility faced by people of African descent stem from the fact that their history and their contributions to the development of civilization are not properly documented, and are at times rewritten, falsified and not made known to all. The administration of justice is an important way of eliciting the truth. Furthermore, for the full development of people of African descent, there must be recognition, justice and development.
