We firmly believe that education, development and
the faithful implementation of all international human rights
norms and obligations, including enactment of laws and political, social and economic policies, are crucial to combat racism,
racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance;
81.
We recognize that democracy, transparent, responsible, accountable and participatory governance responsive to
the needs and aspirations of the people, and respect for
human rights, fundamental freedoms and the rule of law are
essential for the effective prevention and elimination of
racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. We reaffirm that any form of impunity for crimes
motivated by racist and xenophobic attitudes plays a role in
weakening the rule of law and democracy and tends to
encourage the recurrence of such acts;
82.
We affirm that the Dialogue among Civilizations
constitutes a process to attain identification and promotion of
common grounds among civilizations, recognition and promotion of the inherent dignity and of the equal rights of all
human beings and respect for fundamental principles of justice; in this way, it can dispel notions of cultural superiority
based on racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, and facilitate the building of a reconciled
world for the human family;
83.
We underline the key role that political leaders and
political parties can and ought to play in combating racism,
racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance and
encourage political parties to take concrete steps to promote
solidarity, tolerance and respect;
