Development and people of African descent 2015, para. 43
- Paragraph text
- The Working Group concludes that poverty is both a cause and a consequence of discrimination. Development should not be narrowly defined as economic development only, but must also include political, economic, social, cultural and environmental aspects, consistent with the Declaration on the Right to Development. The Working Group "recognizes that … historical injustices have undeniably contributed to the poverty, underdevelopment, marginalization, social exclusion, economic disparities, instability and insecurity that affect many people in different parts of the world, in particular in developing countries" and "recognizes the need to develop programmes for the social and economic development of these societies and the Diaspora, within the framework of a new partnership based on the spirit of solidarity and mutual respect" (Durban Programme of Action, para. 158), in areas such as debt relief, poverty eradication, market access and the promotion of foreign direct investment.

Paragraph
Discussion on "Recognition through Education, Cultural Rights and Data Collection" 2013, para. 58
- Paragraph text
- 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.
