今年纪念日的主题“反对种族主义的行动之声”呼吁我们大声疾呼,认真倾听,果断行动。
We all have a responsibility to engage in solidarity with movements for equality and human rights everywhere. We must listen to those experiencing injustice and ensure their concerns and demands are at the centre of efforts to dismantle discriminatory structures.

We have the blueprints for determined action: the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action, the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, the Four-Point Agenda Towards Transformative Change for Racial Justice and Equality. We at the United Nations have also launched our own internal Strategic Action Plan on Addressing Racism.
我们有采取坚定行动的蓝图:《德班宣言和行动纲领》、《消除一切形式种族歧视国际公约》以及《进行变革,争取实现种族正义和平等的四点议程》。我们联合国也启动了本组织关于解决种族主义问题的内部战略行动计划。
Realizing the vision of a world free of racism and racial discrimination demands action every day, at every level, in every society.
若要实现一个没有种族主义和种族歧视的世界的愿景,则需要每天在各个社会的每一级采取行动。
Let us unite around our common humanity and speak as one for equality, justice and dignity for all.
