LES COULEURS DE LA DIGNITE DRIVER
It continues to be a driver of persistent inequality.Īnd it continues to deny people their fundamental human rights. Racism continues to poison institutions, social structures, and everyday life in every society.

This day is both a day of recognition and an urgent call to action. I am pleased to join you for the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Today and every day, let us unite around our common humanity and speak as one for equality, respect, justice and dignity for all.

Realizing the vision of a world free of racism and racial discrimination demands action every day, at every level, in every society. Together, we are committed to making sure people of every race, ethnicity, colour, gender, religion, creed and sexual orientation enjoy a sense of belonging and safety, and have an equal opportunity to contribute to the success of our United Nations. I will soon be appointing a Special Adviser and establish a Steering Group to oversee implementation of this Plan. We at the United Nations have also launched our own internal Strategic Action Plan on Addressing Racism, which outlines concrete actions to tackle racism in the workplace through accountability. I call on every Member State to take concrete actions – including through policy measures, legislation, and more granular data collection – in support of these efforts at the national and global level.

The Permanent Forum of People of African Descent created by the General Assembly is another example of meaningful progress towards a systemic response to systemic racism. The Four-Point Agenda Towards Transformative Change for Racial Justice and Equality. The International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and The Durban Declaration and Programme of Action and its follow-up processes We have the blueprints for determined action: In line with international human rights obligations and commitments, Member States must show stronger political will to accelerate action for racial justice and equality. It is time to recognize and repair longstanding wrongs.īuilding a future of justice requires mending an unjust past. Historical injustices manifest themselves in poverty, underdevelopment, marginalization, and social instability for entire communities and countries. Reparatory justice is also crucial to realize racial equality and atone for the enduring legacy of centuries of enslavement and colonialism. We must listen to those experiencing injustice and ensure their concerns and demands are at the centre of efforts to dismantle discriminatory structures. We need a renewed social contract, based on rights and opportunities for all, to tackle poverty and exclusion, invest in education, and rebuild trust and social cohesion. We must defend civic space by protecting free expression and assembly – the bedrock of pluralist, peaceful and inclusive societies.

We must speak out against hate speech - offline and online. We all have a responsibility to engage in solidarity with movements for equality and human rights everywhere.Īnd we must extend solidarity to everyone fleeing conflict or persecution without any discrimination based on race, religion or ethnicity. This year’s theme – “Voices for Action against Racism” – calls on us to listen closely, to speak out loudly, and act decisively. Les Africains et les personnes d’ascendance africaine, les Asiatiques et les personnes d’ascendance asiatique, les populations minoritaires, les peuples autochtones, les migrants, les réfugiés et tant d’autres continuent de subir la stigmatisation, la discrimination et la violence, et de servir de boucs émissaires. Ces phénomènes ont des conséquences terribles, dont les discriminations multiples et transversales que subissent les femmes de couleur et les groupes minoritaires.Īucun pays n’est à l’abri de l’intolérance ni de la haine. Les liens entre racisme et inégalité de genre sont indéniables. Le racisme accélère par ailleurs les discours publics grossiers qui banalisent la haine, nient la dignité et incitent à la violence. Il déstabilise les sociétés, sape les démocraties, porte atteinte à la légitimité de l’État et fait obstacle à une reprise inclusive et durable après le COVID-19. Il reste un facteur d’inégalité persistant et continue de priver des personnes de leurs droits humains fondamentaux. Je suis heureux d’être parmi vous à l’occasion de la Journée internationale pour l’élimination de la discrimination raciale.Ĭette journée est à la fois une journée de reconnaissance et un appel urgent à l’action.Īujourd’hui encore, le racisme continue d’empoisonner les institutions, les structures sociales et la vie quotidienne dans toutes les sociétés.
