We note with concern the large number of children
and young people, particularly girls, among the victims of
racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance and stress the need to incorporate special measures, in
accordance with the principle of the best interests of the child
and respect for his or her views, in programmes to combat
racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, in order to give priority attention to the rights and the
situation of children and young people who are victims of
these practices;
73.
We recognize that a child belonging to an ethnic,
religious or linguistic minority or who is indigenous shall not
be denied the right, individually or in community with other
members of his or her group, to enjoy his or her own culture,
to profess and practise his or her own religion, or to use his or
her own language;
74.
We recognize that child labour is linked to poverty,
lack of development and related socio-economic conditions and
could in some cases perpetuate poverty and racial discrimination by disproportionately denying children from affected
groups the opportunity to acquire the human capabilities
needed in productive life and to benefit from economic growth;
75.
We note with deep concern the fact that, in many
countries, people infected or affected by HIV/AIDS, as well
as those who are presumed to be infected, belong to groups
vulnerable to racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and
related intolerance, which has a negative impact and impedes
their access to health care and medication;
