UN Human Rights Chief Michelle Bachelet

The high commissioner has presented a series of recommendations to address existing problems in a report to the UN Human Rights Council.

The report provides a comprehensive view of the inequalities, marginalization, and lack of opportunities that render many people trapped in poverty and victimized by a system of social injustice.

Her recommendations include acknowledging the systemic nature of racism to transform the structures. They call for holding law enforcement officials accountable for crimes, guaranteeing the right of freedom of expression and peaceful assembly during anti-racism protests, and taking steps to address the harms caused by means of a wide range of reparations measures.
