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. 12
