The Working Group devoted one meeting to a preliminary exchange of views on the preparations for the twentieth anniversary of the adoption of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action.

VIII. Conclusions and recommendations A. 1. Situation of racial discrimination worldwide Conclusions 85. The Working Group: (a) Expresses concern with regard to the increase in the incitement to violence, racial hatred, hate speech, hate crimes, neo-Nazism, neo-Fascism and violent nationalist ideologies based on racial or national prejudice, including the resurgence of white supremacist ideologies that fuel contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, in particular in relation to Africans, people of African descent, Asians and people of Asian descent, Roma, Travelers, Sinti, migrants, refugees and asylum seekers; (b) Emphasizes the need to shift away from approaches that manage racial conflict and disparities through policies that keep historical vested interests intact and from the language of “hatred”, “intolerance” and “prejudice”, to an approach that analyses structural power relations, institutions and systems that reproduce racial inequalities and seeks to understand and deconstruct the historical links and current situation of inequalities; (c) Acknowledges that many contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance are related to the legacy of slavery, the slave trade, especially the transatlantic slave trade, apartheid, colonialism and genocide and also acknowledges that slavery and the slave trade are crimes against humanity and should always have been so, especially the transatlantic slave trade, and are among the major sources and manifestations of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance; (d) Recognizes that the complexity of debates about racial justice and equality must reflect the complexity and richness of people of African descent, indigenous peoples, national or ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities, migrants and refugees; (e) Recognizes that victims of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance can suffer from multiple, aggravated and intersecting forms of discrimination based on other related grounds, such as sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, social origin, property, birth, disability or other status; (f) Notes with concern that the automatic processing of personal data for individual profiling, automated decision-making and machine-learning technologies, sometimes referred as artificial intelligence, without adequate safeguards and oversight in their design, development, evaluation and regulation, may lead to discrimination or decisions with a negative impact on people of African descent, minorities, migrants and others; 13
