Notwithstanding the above, the Committee called the State party's attention to paragraph 115 of the Durban Programme of Action, in which the World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance underlined “the key role that politicians and political parties can play in combating racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance”.
El Comité celebra la creación, en 1999, de la Comisión de Derechos Humanos de Malawi, a la que se encomendó la tarea de proteger y promover los derechos humanos, investigar las violaciones de los derechos humanos y hacer el seguimiento de las denuncias personales.
