A/HRC/42/59/Add.2 56. Legislative reforms affecting people of African descent should be undertaken in consultation with and with the involvement of their civil society representatives. In that connection, the Working Group recommends that the Human Rights Observatory of the Senate play an active role in promoting legislative measures aimed at enhancing the visibility and protecting the rights of Afro-Argentines and people of African descent. The National Institute against Discrimination, Xenophobia and Racism should be strengthened, especially its presence in the provinces. 57. The Working Group recommends that the national congress of Afrodescendants envisaged by the Government involve people of African descent at all stages from planning to implementation and include all organizations representing Afro-Argentines and Africans living in Argentina. 58. The Working Group welcomes the efforts of the Government to establish a mechanism to implement the recommendations of the United Nations and other bodies. The Working Group recommends that the mechanism bind not just the federal Government but also the provincial governments. 59. The Working Group recommends that the historical contribution of people of African descent to Argentine independence, culture, society and the economy be fully recognized at all levels of government and in society as a whole. A culture of inclusion should be fostered and supported. 60. The Government should as a matter of priority focus on addressing the invisibility of Afro-Argentines by promoting their culture, customs, traditions and history, as well as their contribution to the Argentine nation. 61. The Government should establish positive measures to ensure the effective representation of Afro-Argentines and people of African descent in the public sector, including in the highest decision-making positions. 62. The Working Group urges the Government to carry out awareness-raising programmes to prevent the use of words and expressions that are demeaning to people of African descent, using the communication manual developed by the National Institute against Discrimination, Xenophobia and Racism. The Government must further discourage the stigmatization of blackness in Argentina. 63. The Working Group urges the Government to provide support to civil society organizations in carrying out activities on 8 November to celebrate the National Day of Afro-Argentine Peoples and Afro Culture. The Government must promote a nationwide public dialogue on the significance of the history of Afro-Argentines, including their current human rights situation. 64. The Government should establish an institute for Afro-Argentine, Afrodescendent and African affairs, which should be staffed by Afro-Argentines and adequately funded. The Working Group recommends that the institute be supported by an interministerial task force. 65. The Working Group strongly recommends that the upcoming national census in 2020 include questions relating to Afro-Argentines and should be prepared in consultation with Afro-Argentines and people of African descent nationwide, allowing for voluntary self-identification. They should also be involved in deciding on the process by which the census will be administered. Such data should then be utilized to inform public policies to address structural discrimination faced by Afro-Argentines. The Working Group further urges the Government to conduct awareness-raising campaigns on the questionnaire, in order to collect data that would be reflective of the reality of people of African descent in the country. The questionnaire must be given to the entire population of Argentina in order to collect data on people of African descent. In that connection, the Working Group offers its own data mapping questionnaire, sent to Argentina in December 2018, for possible guidance on the shaping of the 2020 census. 66. In order to ensure that the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development truly leaves no one behind and racial discrimination is addressed, Afro-Argentines and 15
