The United Nations Commission on Human Rights has began its discussion on racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and all forms of discrimination, hearing the Special Rapporteur on racism and the Chairpersons of the Working Groups on people of African descent and the implementation of the Durban Declaration present their reports. Doudou Diene, Special Rapporteur on Contemporary Forms of Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance, said the alert status today was at red with regard to racism, racial discrimination and xenophobia. There was a resurgence and vitality of traditional forms of discrimination, and the appearance of new forms of discrimination affecting the non-national, the refugee and the immigrant.
