- [In recognition of the contribution of the continent of Africa and people of African descent to the development, diversity and richness of world civilizations and cultures which constitute the common heritage of humankind, States should, in collaboration with relevant United Nations bodies and agencies, particularly the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and international donors:] Promote and protect the culture, identity and tangible and intangible heritage of the continent of Africa and people of African descent, and keep, maintain and foster their mode of life and forms of organization, languages and religious expressions;

Activities of the Working Group 2014, para. 77
- Paragraph text
- The rights of children and young people of African descent need to be specifically protected with regard to their identity, culture and language, in particular by promoting culturally and linguistically sensitive education policies and programmes. Actions shall be adopted to combat the indirect discrimination faced by children in education systems by removing the negative stereotypes and imagery often used in teaching materials, ensuring the inclusion of the histories and cultures of people of African descent, including the transatlantic slave trade in curriculums, and ensuring the cultural or linguistic relevance of teaching for children of African descent. Formal education at the early childhood, primary, secondary, post-secondary and adult education levels must incorporate knowledge about the history of transatlantic enslavement and the role of people of African descent in global development, and the diversity and richness of civilizations and cultures that constitute the common heritage of humankind. A comprehensive curriculum reform shall also tackle all forms of stereotypes.

Paragraph
Activities of the Working Group 2014, para. 57
- Paragraph text
- The Working Group stresses the need to address the persistence of racial discrimination among judicial and law enforcement officials, which affects the application of the law and the functioning of the criminal justice system and contributes to an unfair overrepresentation of people of African descent among persons in detention. The Working Group notes that people of African descent are often subjected to longer sentences than other individuals who have committed the same offence. The practice of racially profiling youth of African descent leaves them disproportionately policed, prosecuted, convicted and imprisoned compared to the rest of the population.

Law enforcement and judicial services should have an adequate and accessible presence in the neighbourhoods, regions, collective facilities, camps or centres where groups of people of African descent reside, so that their complaints can be expeditiously received. Accessible and youth-friendly reporting systems and services must be in place;

Development and people of African descent 2015, para. 44
- Paragraph text
- The Working Group points out that, despite the publication of evidence, there is still insufficient attention paid to the proven contributions of people of African descent to world development. It concludes that the role that people of African descent have played in global development must be recognized both in terms of the contribution that the African continent has historically made to worldwide development, including during the transatlantic slave trade, and the contributions that Africans and the African diaspora have made and continue to make to the contemporary world.

The racial aspects of violence and imprisonment should be recognized;
