A/HRC/35/45 (r) Encourages OHCHR, together with the countries of the regions and their respective regional organizations, to start preparations for the next regional meeting for Europe, Central Asia and North America. It also encourages the organizers to involve civil society organizations in such preparations and to make sure that all steps are taken to maximize participation; (s) Regrets that since the launch of the International Decade for People of African Descent, the trust/special funds established by the General Assembly, which will allow for funding of activities not covered by the budgets already allocated, remain inactive due to lack of contributions. It encourages all Member States, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, private institutions and individuals, and other donors in a position to do so, to contribute generously to the programme of activities for the implementation of the International Decade for People of African Descent; (t) Emphasizes that the establishment of a forum for people of African descent should take place as a matter of priority and urgency, and that financial support should be provided so as to guarantee the wide participation of civil society organizations from all regions in such a forum. It recommends to the Human Rights Council to allocate two or three days of the Working Group’s annual sessions to this forum, in accordance with paragraph 29 (i) of the programme of activities for the implementation of the International Decade for People of African Descent. 13
