The Independent Expert will pay particular attention to the practices and legal approaches of countries to ensure the full enjoyment of human rights by persons with albinism. She envisages wide consultation particularly among persons with albinism on their views on discrimination. She will follow with interest debates on the ways to approach such issues at the national, regional and international levels. The Independent Expert looks forward to working closely with experts at the national, regional and international levels on related issues such as racial discrimination, disabilities, trafficking, health, minority issues, violence against women and children, cultural rights, harmful traditional practices, extrajudicial and summary executions and torture, most of whom have already contributed to the debate surrounding the enjoyment of human rights by persons with albinism.
