A/HRC/4/19/Add.2 page 28 96. The Special Rapporteur considers that certain awareness-raising and training initiatives undertaken within State bodies, such as the training of the Basel City police force, are very positive, and recommends that they be undertaken in all cantons. He also recommends that the Government increase, to the extent possible, the recruitment, at all State levels, of staff from among the immigrant population and the various foreign communities, and promote comprehensive intercultural training in all State services and institutions that deal with immigration and the situation of foreigners, in particular the police and border authorities, airports, stations, etc. 97. The Special Rapporteur strongly recommends that civil society organizations make use of the United Nations mechanisms available to them, both treaty body mechanisms, such as the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, and the special procedures, and transmit to these bodies relevant information concerning possible human rights violations as a result of the application of laws such as the Act on Foreign Nationals or the Asylum Act. In this regard, he encourages civil society to record and document acts of racism, racial discrimination and xenophobia. He wishes to commend the non-governmental organizations that have already taken steps in this regard.41 41 See, for example, the documents provided to Carrefour de réflexion et d’action anti-noir (CRAN), to Association contre le racisme (ACOR) and Association des minorités de Suisse (GMS) and Fondation contre le racisme et l’antisémitisme (GRA).
