Report of the mini-plenary meeting of the countries of Central America and the Spanish-speaking Caribbean 24. The mini-plenary meeting of the countries of Central America and the Spanish-speaking Caribbean submitted the following text: “1. We recognize that efforts to combat racism, xenophobia and all forms of discrimination are a necessary and unavoidable prerequisite for the construction of governance, sustainable development, social justice, democracy and peace in our region. Nevertheless, we continue to observe persistent inequalities in the Americas and non-compliance with certain obligations in the promotion and protection of equality at the national, regional and international levels. Therefore, we reaffirm our commitment to the documents adopted in Santiago and Durban, understanding that these are ineluctable commitments by States, regional and international bodies and civil society; 2. We urge the States of the region to promote, in the discussions of the General Assembly, the adoption of a process of monitoring and evaluation of the Durban agreements, comparable to that used for other World Conferences of the United Nations; 3. We call upon the States of the region to support the early adoption of the Inter-American Convention against Racism and All Forms of Discrimination and Intolerance of the Organization of American States (OAS). Likewise, we call upon States to support the adoption and entry into force of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities; 4. Similarly, we call upon States that have not yet done so to sign and ratify the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families, the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions and other international human rights instruments that promote equality and non-discrimination. In addition, we invite States that are parties to international human rights instruments to implement international legal norms effectively within their countries;
