WG on the effective implementation of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action. by Corinne

First part of the fifth session
6th of March 2007
10 am to 1 pm:

ITEM 6: Panel 1 (continuation)

M. Mondeleares from Belgium:

He presented the Belgium action plan in detail:
First it must be a methodology to use the Directives from the European council’s secretariat:
1) Special institution
2) Working group inter ministerial to coordinate the redaction
3) Large consultation
4) Finalisation
5) Approbation and adoption
6) Publication and transmission
7) Follow-up and evaluation

Then there are 2 phases:
 The project:
22 thematic fiches ( e.g. organised racism) they come from world conference and they have to be concretise in Belgium (in a legal context).
 Concretisation:
It is doing by piloting group (persons from the 6 governments, every government is independent.)

M. Lattimer from the United Kingdom:

He began by examine more hold strategies that was use for discrimination against the community roma. They are still discriminated in many public places, at school and in the professional life.

Their national plan against racism:
6 fields have to be taken in consideration:
1) The recognition of the minority, information about them is essential
2) The participation, the minority community should participate to the politic life
3) Legal system has to be in place.
4) To complete the third point: Action programme with more specific measures are necessary
5) An evaluation of the objectives has to be made after a few times.
6) The implementation of execution organism of the programmes. That is an institutional effort. A budget is necessary.


Then the Chairman opens the floor.
The collect of information about the minority is controversial, many states see a danger about the “ventilated information”, the risk is that they can be use in an other field than the fight against discrimination. Be that as it may, everyone is agreeing to say that we need relevant indicators.
