The need to protect children in armed conflicts and provide aftercare and rehabilitation for those children traumatized by war was also stressed. The conference set as a high priority the eventual elimination of widespread extreme poverty which inhibits the full and effective enjoyment of human rights and constitutes a violation of human dignity. "It is essential for states to foster participation by the poorest people in the decisionmaking process by the community in which they live. the promotion of human rights. and efforts to combat extreme poverty". The Vienna declaration also reflects a strong commitment to combat all forms of racism. racial discrimination. xenophobia. and related intolerance and supported the appointment of a special rapporteur to address these issues. All states were called to bring ethnic cleansing to an end. The World conference stresses that all persons who perpetrate or authorize criminal acts associated with ethniccleansing. are individually responsible and accountable for such human rights violations. and that the international community should exert every effort to bring those legally responsible for such violations to Justice.
