A/HRC/RES/57/25 Durban Declaration and Programme of Action and the International Decade for People of African Descent, Noting with concern that the lack of public knowledge about the content of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action has constituted a serious obstacle in generating political will for its full and effective implementation, Recognizing that racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance have a deep negative impact on the enjoyment of human rights and therefore require a united and comprehensive response from States, Recalling that racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance are manifested on the grounds of race, colour, descent or national or ethnic origin, and that victims-survivors can suffer from multiple or aggravated forms of discrimination based on other related grounds, such as sex, language, religion, disability, political or other opinion, social origin, property, birth or other status, and in this regard recalling also that it is essential that integrated, intersecting and holistic approaches be adopted to ensure the effectiveness of policies and other measures against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, Recognizing the importance of the full implementation of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action, and emphasizing the need to streamline and enhance the effectiveness of existing follow-up mechanisms, and to increase public awareness of and support for it, Noting the efforts made at the international, regional and national levels, welcoming the progress made since the adoption of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action in the implementation of its provisions, and welcoming also all the positive steps and successful initiatives taken by States towards its effective and full implementation, including constitutional and legislative reforms, the adoption of national action plans and other national policies and measures, participation in and support for its follow-up mechanisms, the mainstreaming of racial equality in international forums and the promotion of regional, international and multi-stakeholder initiatives in matters relating to the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action, Acknowledging with deep concern that, many years later, notwithstanding the adoption of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action and the concerted efforts of the international community, many people around the world, including Africans and people of African descent, Asians and people of Asian descent, migrants, refugees, Indigenous Peoples and persons belonging to other racial, ethnic, linguistic or religious minorities, continue to be confronted by racism, racial discrimination, hate speech, targeted violence, xenophobia and other related intolerance, Recognizing that the design and use of emerging digital technologies, while offering new opportunities in the global campaign against all forms of racism and racial discrimination, can exacerbate and compound existing inequalities, many of which exist on racial, ethnic and national origin grounds, and that the prevalence of emerging digital technologies in determining everyday outcomes in employment, education, healthcare and criminal justice, which introduces the risk of systemized discrimination on an unprecedented scale, is a major concern, Expressing its concern that unequal access to digital technologies and the Internet, commonly referred to as the “digital divide”, further amplifies these disparities, and calling upon States to take proactive measures to ensure that the development, deployment and governance of and access to digital technologies mitigate their potential discriminatory impact, Recognizing that economic inequalities exacerbate racial discrimination, contrary to the principles enshrined in articles 2 and 7 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and articles 2 and 5 of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, and urging States to take concrete measures to address persistent economic disparities that fall along racial lines, including by implementing policies to ensure equal opportunities in employment, entrepreneurship and access to financial services, and encouraging States to collect and analyse disaggregated data on economic indicators to better 2
