Chen Xu pointed out that this year marks the 20th anniversary of the adoption of the Durban Declaration and programme of action. Although the international community has made many efforts to combat racism, there is still a long way to go to eliminate racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. We are deeply concerned about systemic racism, racial discrimination and increasingly serious hate crimes in some countries.
Chen Xu said that slavery, the transatlantic slave trade and colonialism are one of the main causes of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, and their negative impact on the enjoyment of all human rights has continued to this day. The countries concerned should face up to history, face up to their own problems of systematic racism and racial discrimination, take practical actions to fully and effectively implement the Durban Declaration and programme of action, eliminate the legacy of slavery, the transatlantic slave trade and colonialism, work together to achieve racial justice and equality, and truly promote and protect human rights.
