text:
The mini-plenary meeting of the countries of the Andean region submitted the following
“1.
We recognize the importance of strengthening the formulation of public policies
and programmes designed to promote equality, with the broad and democratic
participation of the different peoples and communities;
2.
We call upon States to publicize the issues of equality, non-discrimination,
diversity and interculturalism throughout the State system;
3.
We note that there is an imbalance between the recognition and the application of
policies to promote the rights of indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples;
4.
We note with concern the discrimination affecting migrants, who are subject to
exploitative labour conditions, and inhabitants of isolated rural areas and border areas;
5.
We reject emphatically the failure to recognize the human rights of people who
have become migrants, internally displaced persons or refugees as a result of a variety of
problems;
6.
We consider it necessary to study and analyse the new forms and manifestations
of discrimination and racism;
7.
We register our frustration with States’ failure to fulfil the commitments that they
made in Durban and Santiago;
8.
We stress the heightened impact of discrimination in conflict areas. We note with
alarm that violations of human rights and humanitarian law in these areas affect
indigenous and Afro-descendant young people more severely;
9.
We ask States, through their Ministries of Health, to accord due importance to
maternal and infant mortality and sexual and reproductive health and to incorporate these
issues as priorities in their health agendas;
