A/HRC/43/28 their ethnic, religious or linguistic profile. A report outlining the main findings and recommendations of OHCHR was published in August.17 25. During 2019, the OHCHR Regional Office for Central Asia continued providing broad support to a civil society coalition that had been formed to provide a draft antidiscrimination law for consideration in Kyrgyzstan, and to advocate for its adoption. In the Republic of Moldova, OHCHR conducted research on social tolerance, which concluded that weak social tolerance towards minorities, including Roma and Muslims, affected the general social cohesion of society. 26. OHCHR continued monitoring the situation of the Khmers-Krom minority group in Cambodia. It advocated with national and local authorities to facilitate issuing identity documents for Khmers-Krom, as they were often obliged to change the location of their birthplace and family name in order to obtain their documents. 27. During 2019, UNAMA continued engaging with the Ministry of Justice and the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission to provide technical support in integrating minority rights standards into the draft anti-discrimination law. UNAMA actively attended meetings of the working group tasked, under the Ministry of Justice, to develop the draft law and shared with it documents and best practice on anti-discrimination standards, including on the basis of ethnic, religious and linguistic affiliation. In addition, between May and August, UNAMA engaged Afghan Islamic law scholars and experts in a series of 10 round tables aimed at discussing national legislation, international human rights standards and the interpretation of Islamic law in several areas, including minority rights and non-discrimination, women’s rights, constitutional and governance frameworks, and criminal law and other human rights standards. 28. During the year, the OHCHR office in Colombia monitored the lack of adequate access to justice for survivors of sexual violence from Afro-Colombian communities. In places of continued conflict, such as Tumaco, victims of gender-based violence lack safe, accessible and confidential reporting mechanisms. Women’s access to adequate health-care services was often interlaced with their access to justice. Therefore, OHCHR offered specialized technical advice and support on the right to health to State entities and affected Afrodescendent women. OHCHR also launched a specific training module for public officials of the Medellin Mayor’s Office and related municipal entities in February, integrating the collective rights of Afro-Colombian communities in public policies and programmes. 29. As part of its work on countering discrimination against ethnic and religious minorities, OHCHR held a national short film competition and festival on minorities and human rights in Iraq. Since March, over 4,000 people had watched the leading short films in screening events in 17 out of the 19 governorates of Iraq, with social media and television coverage reaching thousands more. Participants emphasized that the discussions following the screenings of the films had enabled a forum for open discussion about human rights issues and concerns in Iraq, including the rights of minorities, gender-based violence, accountability for the atrocities committed during the conflict, discrimination and accountability. 30. United Nations experts also addressed the discrimination faced by minorities. In 2019, the Special Rapporteur on minority issues issued more than 50 communications to States in all regions, raising concerns over laws, policies and practices that discriminated against ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities. 31. In February, the Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent urged Belgium to recognize the true scope of the violence and injustice of its colonial past in order to tackle the root causes of the present-day racism faced by people of African descent. During its visit, the Working Group concluded that inequalities were deeply entrenched because of structural barriers that intersected and reinforced each other and found clear evidence that racial discrimination was endemic in institutions in the country.18 In March, 17 18 6 See www.ohchr.org/Documents/Countries/IT/ItalyMissionReport.pdf.
