countries asylum from persecution, as well as the right to return to one's own country. In this respect it stresses the importance of the <a href="/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_Human_Rights" title="Universal Declaration of Human Rights">Universal Declaration of Human Rights</a>, the 1951 <a href="/wiki/Convention_relating_to_the_Status_of_Refugees" class="mw-redirect" title="Convention relating to the Status of Refugees">Convention relating to the Status of Refugees</a>, its 1967 Protocol and regional instruments. It expresses its appreciation to States that continue to admit and host large numbers of refugees in their territories, and to the <a href="/wiki/Office_of_the_United_Nations_High_Commissioner_for_Refugees" class="mw-redirect" title="Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees">Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees</a> for its dedication to its task.

The VDPA recognises that, in view of the complexities of the global refugee crisis and in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, relevant international instruments and international solidarity and in the spirit of burden-sharing, a comprehensive approach by the international community is needed in coordination and cooperation with the countries concerned and relevant organisations, bearing in mind the mandate of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. This should include the development of strategies to address the root causes and effects of movements of refugees and other displaced persons, the strengthening of emergency preparedness and response mechanisms, the provision of effective protection and assistance, bearing in mind the special needs of women and children, as well as the achievement of durable solutions, primarily through the preferred solution of dignified and safe voluntary repatriations, including solutions such as those adopted by the international refugee conferences. And underlines the responsibilities of States, particularly as they relate to the countries of origin. Regarding disasters, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and the principles of humanitarian law, VDPA emphasizes the importance of and the need for <a href="/wiki/Humanitarian_aid" title="Humanitarian aid">humanitarian aid</a> to victims of all <a href="/wiki/Natural_disaster" title="Natural disaster">natural disaster</a> and <a href="/wiki/Man-made_disaster" class="mw-redirect" title="Man-made disaster">man-made disaster</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Against_racism,_xenophobia_and_intolerance"><span id="Against_racism.2C_xenophobia_and_intolerance"></span>Against racism, xenophobia and intolerance</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Vienna_Declaration_and_Programme_of_Action&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Against racism, xenophobia and intolerance"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In Part II, para 20, the VDPA urges all governments to take immediate measure and to develop strong policies to prevent and combat all forms and manifestations of <a href="/wiki/Racism" title="Racism">racism</a>, <a href="/wiki/Xenophobia" title="Xenophobia">xenophobia</a> or related <a href="/wiki/Toleration" title="Toleration">intolerance</a>, where necessary by enactment of appropriate legislation, including penal measure.

The continuing rise of nativism, xenophobia, and racism led to a limited definition of what it meant to be an American.

At para 26, the VDPA urges States and the international community to promote and protect the rights of persons belonging to national or ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities in accordance with the Declaration on the Rights of Persons belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities. Further at para 95, VDPA underlines the importance of preserving and strengthening the system of special procedures, rapporteurs, representatives, experts and working groups of the Commission on Human Rights and the <a href="/wiki/Sub-Commission_on_the_Prevention_of_Discrimination_and_Protection_of_Minorities" class="mw-redirect" title="Sub-Commission on the Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities">Sub-Commission on the Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities</a>, in order to enable them to carry out their mandates in all countries throughout the world, providing them with the necessary human and financial resources.

Further at para 32, it recommends that the General Assembly proclaim an international decade of the world's indigenous people, to begin from January 1994, including action oriented programmes, to be decided upon in partnership with <a href="/wiki/Indigenous_people" class="mw-redirect" title="Indigenous people">indigenous people</a>.
