International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination
21 March
联合国消除种族歧视国际日 - 3月 21日

2019年主题：遏制和打击愈演愈烈的民族民粹主义和极端种族优越意识形态
　　以旨在推动民粹主义和民族主义议程的意识形态为基础的种族极端主义运动正在世界各地蔓延，助长了种族主义、种族歧视、仇外心理和相关不容忍行为，目标往往是移民和难民以及非洲人后裔。
　　联合国大会在最近通过的一份消除种族主义的决议中重申，人皆生而自由，其尊严及权利均各平等且人人都具有为社会的发展和福祉作出建设性贡献的潜力。决议还强调，任何种族优越论以及试图断定存在不同人种的理论在科学上都是荒谬的，在道义上应予谴责，对社会而言不公正而且危险，必须予以摈弃。
　　当代形式种族主义、种族歧视、仇外心理和相关不容忍行为问题特别报告员滕达依•阿丘梅（E. Tendayi Achiume）在其最近的民族民粹主义报告中分析了民族民粹主义对不歧视和平等这些基本人权原则构成的威胁。她谴责了民族民粹主义，因其推动了基于个人和群体的种族、族裔、民族血统和宗教或其他相关社会类别的排斥性或压制性做法和政策，对个人或群体造成伤害。
　　一起打击种族主义！ 　了解非洲人后裔国际十年和记住奴隶制。 　查阅联合国外联方案有关大屠杀和卢旺达图西族种族灭绝的教育材料。

2019 Theme: Mitigating and countering rising nationalist populism and extreme supremacist ideologies
Racist extremist movements based on ideologies that seek to promote populist, nationalist agendas are spreading in various parts of the world, fueling racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, often targeting migrants and refugees as well as people of African descent.

In its recent resolution on eliminating racism, the United Nations General Assembly reiterated that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights and have the potential to contribute constructively to the development and well-being of their societies. The resolution also emphasized that any doctrine of racial superiority is scientifically false, morally condemnable, socially unjust and dangerous and must be rejected, together with theories that attempt to determine the existence of separate human races.

The Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, E. Tendayi Achiume, in her recent report on nationalist populism, analyzed the threat posed by nationalist populism to the fundamental human rights principles of non-discrimination and equality. She condemned nationalist populism that advances exclusionary or repressive practices and policies that harm individuals or groups on the basis of their race, ethnicity, national origin and religion, or other related social categories.

In her report on glorification of Na**sm online, Ms. Achiume identified recent trends and manifestations of glorification of Na**sm, neo-Na**sm and other practices that contribute to fueling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. She highlighted States’ obligations under human rights law to counter such extreme ideologies online, as well as the responsibilities of technology companies in the light of human rights principles.

February 25, 2019

亞省政府日前正式成立了第一個致力于打擊種族主義的咨詢委員會。成員們將利用其專業知識和經驗協助政府實現鏟除種族主義的承諾。
咨詢委員會包括24名成員以及負責政府反種族主義倡議的省教育部長David Eggen。委員會將在省政府制定反種族主義和反歧視戰略過程中提供意見和建議。這是亞省建立的第一個類似的委員會。
此前，超過300名亞伯達人申請加入這一委員會。獲選成員在倡導多元化社區方面均顯示出卓越領導力和豐富經驗。委員會包括具有不同信仰和其他多樣性的人士，成員代表著全省各個地區。
“建立反種族主義咨詢委員會是省政府打擊種族主義的重要組成部分。每個委員會新成員都爲政府反種族主義工作帶來了豐富各異的知識和生活經驗。我對新委員會充滿信心，並期待與他們共同努力，確保所有亞省人都感到安全和受尊重。我們將共同努力，實現在本省鏟除種族主義的共同目標。我們應該爲後代承擔起這一責任。 教育部長 David Eggen
