Activities of the Working Group 2016, para. 29
- Paragraph text
- Racial stereotyping of people of African descent is taking place around the world and must be addressed as an unacceptable phenomenon. Stereotypes are the result of limited knowledge, misinterpretations, shortcomings of education and the negative portrayal of people of African descent in the media and works of art. For example, people of African descent are rarely present in films, and when they are present have secondary or supporting roles only.

Report of the Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent on its nineteenth and twentieth sessions 2017, para. 60
- Paragraph text
- The stark reality is that people of African descent continue to suffer from many multiple, aggravated and intersecting forms of discrimination. As a result, educational outcomes for people of African descent are a function of their unequal access to key educational resources, including skilled teachers and quality curriculums. There is copious evidence that in some States, students of African descent routinely receive dramatically different learning opportunities based on their social status. This poses a fundamental challenge to Goal 4, which aims at ensuring an inclusive and equitable quality education for all. Intimately connected to the right to education is the right to work. With poor educational outcomes at all levels in addition to racial discrimination, people of African descent are unable to secure decent work.

- The Working Group also recommends that States guarantee quality legal aid to facilitate access to justice in all areas, as well as support for mechanisms of alternative dispute resolution, which often prove to be particularly effective in dealing with racism against people of African descent. In addition, the Working Group urges States to adopt special measures to facilitate increased representation of people of African descent in the judiciary and in law enforcement.

- Paragraph text
- The Working Group is ready to continue actively participating in the International Decade for People of African Descent and to assist stakeholders and strengthen partnerships between Governments, civil society, Africans and people of African descent in order to fully implement the programme of activities. The Working Group calls on States and civil society to hold joint launchings of the International Decade in their own countries and to adopt positive measures to accelerate the process of its implementation. As part of this process, States are urged to also address the negative racial stereotypes and the blackface phenomenon that people of African descent face. Criminal sanctions must be imposed not just for hate speech, but also for stereotyping. Furthermore, as with hate speech, stereotyping ought to provide a basis for damages. Administrative sanctions should also be imposed for words and images that amount not just to hate speech, but also to stereotyping.

Furthermore, positive steps should be taken to create a space for the African perspective, one that will enable a more informed view.
