Resumen
Democracies all across the globe are facing serious challenges from increasing ideologicalpolarisation that brings with it the weakening of social peace and its values.It is necessary to successfully confront the challenge of how to build inclusive,culturally diverse societies, not just because doing so successfully is a preconditionfor countries to focus properly on other priorities of economic growth, health andeducation for all citizens, but because allowing people full cultural expression isan important development end in itself. In recent years, the UNDP Human DevelopmentReport has argued strongly that this is as much a question of politics as economics– from protecting human rights to deepening democracy.Sustainable development goal (SDG) 16 can help in strengthening and evaluatingthe conditions for good governance that guarantee diversity, such as: the useof differentiated approaches in legislation, policy and the administration of justice;the effective participation of minorities in decision-making on all measures that affectthem; and accountability through the use of human rights indicators.
