A/HRC/43/32
VIII. Recommendations
71.
United Nations and regional human rights mechanisms should share
information on their decisions, recommendations, best practices, reports, activities,
programmed visits and other relevant matters in a manner that is continuous,
consistent and systematically channelled through the OHCHR focal points
coordinator. The alignment of processes and cross-referencing should contribute to
more robust and targeted decisions and recommendations and to reinforced advocacy
and assistance for their implementation.
72.
All international and regional mechanisms should advocate for States to
comply with international and regional protection measures against racism and
monitor the implementation of States’ commitments under the Durban Declaration
and Programme of Action, including the adoption of legislation, policies, action plans
and programmes to combat racism.
73.
United Nations agencies and treaty bodies, regional mechanisms and national
institutions should cooperate to collect disaggregated data on racism, racial
discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance; States should collect and
publicize statistics disaggregated by race, ethnicity, migratory status, gender, descent,
age, disability, geographic location, income and other relevant characteristics as a
basis for monitoring and improving the implementation of the Sustainable
Development Goals.
74.
Support should be provided to enable victims of racism, racial discrimination,
xenophobia and related intolerance and particularly vulnerable groups to gain access
to the international and regional human rights system and mechanisms.
75.
The establishment of a core working group of national institutions and regional
mechanisms composed of focal points on racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia
and related intolerance should be considered to institutionalize and strengthen
cooperation and to facilitate the exchange of information and expertise between
OHCHR, regional mechanisms and national institutions.
76.
Cooperation between United Nations and regional human rights mechanisms,
under the auspices of OHCHR, should be strengthened. OHCHR should be provided
with more human and financial resources to coordinate interaction between United
Nations and regional human rights mechanisms and to facilitate the work of the
network of focal points.
77.
The dedicated programme within OHCHR for regional mechanisms to gain
experience within the United Nations human rights system should be continued.
OHCHR staff should also be included in the programme in order to enable them to
gain experience within regional human rights mechanisms.
