Compendium of good practices in the elimination of discrimination against women 2017, para. 58
- Paragraph text
- According to evaluations, despite its short duration, the project’s focus on education is a promising practice for a number of reasons. First, what started as a civil society organization initiative attracted the institutional support of the National Institute of Education and the Ministry of Education and Science in the dissemination of the educational guidebook in schools, the development of the teacher training module and the roll-out of training sessions. In addition, the undertaking created a political space for civil society organizations and public authorities to take action in a challenging context, allowing meaningful steps towards fulfilling the objectives of the strategic action plan.

Discussion on "Recognition through Education, Cultural Rights and Data Collection" 2013, para. 87b
- Paragraph text
- [In accordance with paragraph 92 of the Durban Programme of Action, States should also:] Such statistical data should be disaggregated in accordance with domestic legislation. Any such information should, as appropriate, be collected with the explicit consent of the victims, based on their self-identification and in accordance with provisions on human rights and fundamental freedoms, such as data protection regulations and privacy guarantees. This information must not be misused. The statistical data and information should be collected with the objective of monitoring the situation of marginalized groups, and the development and evaluation of legislation, policies, practices and other measures aimed at preventing and combating racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, as well as for the purpose of determining whether any measures have an unintentional disparate impact on victims. To that end, it recommends the development of voluntary, consensual and participatory strategies in the process of collecting, designing and using information. The information should take into account economic and social indicators, including, where appropriate, health and health status, infant and maternal mortality, life expectancy, literacy, education, employment, housing, land ownership, mental and physical health care, water, sanitation, energy and communications services, poverty and average disposable income in order to elaborate social and economic development policies with a view to closing the existing gaps in social and economic conditions;

Activities of the Working Group 2014, para. 54
- Paragraph text
- The Working Group notes that, despite guarantees in international and national law, the prevalence of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance affects people of African descent in a unique fashion, to the point that many people of African descent are still unable to obtain remedies for wrongful acts through their domestic institutions. Structural discrimination occurs at all stages and levels of the administration of justice, inter alia in legislation, law enforcement, courts and tribunals. One of the most important challenges that people of African descent face is discriminatory treatment by the very institutions that are supposed to administer justice.

Cases of racial discrimination must receive effective, proportionate and dissuasive sanctions and remedies, both to reduce impunity and to ensure that victims can regain the dignity of which they were deprived;

Together, these documents recognize that people of African descent have for centuries been victims of racism and racial discrimination, and provide a strong framework for combating racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, Afrophobia and related intolerance faced by people of African descent.

Report of the Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent on its nineteenth and twentieth sessions 2017, para. 56
- Paragraph text
- The Working Group concludes that growing income, wealth and other forms of inequality are threats to social stability. Without change, growing inequalities and segregation disrupt our societies, and people of African descent are the first victims. The eradication of structural racism is key for attaining the Sustainable Development Goals. This is further underlined in the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action, which emphasize that poverty, underdevelopment, marginalization, social exclusion and economic disparities are closely associated with racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance and contribute to the persistence of racist attitudes and practices, which in turn generate more poverty.

Report of the Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent on its nineteenth and twentieth sessions 2017, para. 77
- Paragraph text
- States must ensure that people of African descent have access to quality education which enables them to compete on an equal footing with others in the labour market. States must acknowledge the persistence of structural racism and multiple forms of discrimination within the education system and must therefore put in place appropriate legislation and affirmative action policies to tackle the problem. School curriculums for all should take into consideration an accurate account of the history of the transatlantic trade in enslaved Africans, enslavement and colonialism.

- 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.

The administration of justice is an important way of eliciting the truth. Furthermore, for the full development of people of African descent, there must be recognition, justice and development.

- Education provides a gateway to the full enjoyment of other rights, including rights to freedom of movement and expression, access to justice and remedies when human rights are violated, participation in the cultural, social and economic life and in public affairs. Lack of education has perpetuated the cycle of poverty, racism and segregation, from the time of the infamous transatlantic slave trade to the present date. Conversely, education provides a vital key to sustainable poverty alleviation.

Discussion on "Recognition through Education, Cultural Rights and Data Collection" 2013, para. 51
- Paragraph text
- People of African descent are often categorized as a different race; but "race" is a socially constructed concept. Paragraph 6 of the outcome document of the Durban Review Conference reaffirms that "all peoples and individuals constitute one human family, rich in diversity, and that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights"; although throughout the history of humanity, people have been assigned identity based on race, both as a means of distinguishing one group from another, but more importantly as a means of control and domination. Therefore, an important step in the recognition of people of African descent is the deconstruction of the concept of "race".
