Vision for the mandate 2016, para. 52
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The Independent Expert looks forward to working closely with all special procedure mandate holders so as to harmonize efforts in addressing the many obstacles to the full enjoyment of human rights by persons with albinism. She sees close connections between her mandate and those of other special procedures, such as the rights of persons with disabilities; the right to education; the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health; the issue of discrimination against women in law and in practice; violence against women; contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance; and cultural rights. The Independent Expert also intends to work in close cooperation with the mandate holders on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions; torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment; the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography; and trafficking in persons, especially women and children.
