Discussion on "Recognition through Education, Cultural Rights and Data Collection" 2013, para. 46
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The International Decade for People of African Descent is a timely and important endeavour. The momentum that has been gathering speed since the World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance in Durban in 2001, the tenth anniversary of the Durban Declaration and the Programme of Action and the International Year in 2011 must be maintained and reinforced. The Decade will be an opportunity to ensure the effective implementation of the crucial provisions laid out in the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action, and thus the realization of full and effective equality for people of African descent. Therefore, the Working Group invites the General Assembly to adopt and launch the International Decade for People of African Descent in 2013, and consider in its deliberations the Draft Programme of Action for the Decade drawn up by the Working Group under the theme "People of African Descent: Recognition, Justice, Development".
