Paragraph text
The Working Group encourage States, civil society and other relevant actors to actively oppose negative stereotyping of people of African descent on the basis of ethnicity, religion and origin, with a specific focus on hate speech and incitement to hatred through media and political statements. The Working Group suggests the adoption of measures to prohibit and sanction the use of negative stereotyping. Furthermore, positive steps should be taken to create a space for the African perspective, one that will enable a more informed view.
