(VOVWORLD) - UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet on Monday issued an urgent call to the international community to adopt a transformative agenda to uproot systemic racism.
In a global report casting a spotlight on a litany of violations of economic, social, cultural, civil and political rights suffered by people of African descent, Bachelet called on all States to stop denying, and start dismantling, racism; to end impunity and build trust; to listen to the voices of people of African descent; and to confront past legacies and deliver redress.
