16. The seminar in Chile urged States in the region to ensure fuller participation for people of African descent, indigenous peoples and other vulnerable groups in political, administrative, economic and cultural institutions. Noting the tendency in some States to negate or minimize the existence of racial discrimination, it urged States in the region to recognize the phenomenon of racial discrimination more clearly so that action could be taken to improve the economic and social condition of victims of racism and xenophobia. Along the same lines, the seminar also recommended that census and other statistical surveys include information about issues such as the economic and social conditions of racial or ethnic groups, in order to have a better understanding of the disadvantages suffered and that those tools be used to generate better targeted government programmes.
