A/HRC/29/46/Add.1 agencies or an administrative remedy under applicable laws and regulations, is completed. Even after the previously extended stay, such marriage migrants may be permitted a further extension if deemed necessary for their recovery. In addition, the Special Rapporteur was informed that marriage migrants may be permitted to remain in the Republic of Korea even after separation or divorce, if they are raising an underage child or are not found to be responsible for the termination of marriage (in cases where the spouse from the Republic of Korea is missing or dead, or at fault for the divorce). E. Private acts of racism and xenophobia 53. The Special Rapporteur, while noting that he had not been informed of or seen any racist or xenophobic discourse or practice at the institutional level, was nevertheless made aware of several incidents of private acts of racism, racial discrimination and xenophobia. The incidents included a naturalized woman being refused entry to a public bath by the bath’s management, taxi drivers turning customers who do not look ethnic Korean in to the police and shop attendants expressing derogatory attitudes to foreign customers. Although these may be isolated incidents, it is essential for the Government to address the issue of racism and xenophobia through better education and awareness-raising. 54. The Special Rapporteur would like to highlight the role that education plays in combating racism and xenophobia and recall his report on the role of education to prevent racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance (A/HRC/23/56), in which he stressed the fundamental role of education in the effective enjoyment of all other human rights, as education is known to act as a multiplier in enhancing the other human rights and freedoms. The role of teachers and educators is particularly important and they should be given specialized training, including in the prevention of racism, xenophobia and other forms of discrimination, with special emphasis on the situation of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers or other vulnerable groups. Similarly, human rights education and antidiscrimination training should also be emphasized in schools and universities. Teachers, journalists, state officials, civil servants, judges and law enforcement officials should be given such training, and particular emphasis in the curriculum should be given to international norms prohibiting racism and racial discrimination. 55. The Special Rapporteur was informed of the existence of nationalist groups and movements that openly advocate the abolition of the policy of providing support to multicultural families, claiming that the policy enacted by the Government discriminates against citizens, as they are not entitled to similar social benefits or programmes. The Special Rapporteur expresses concerns about the dissemination of inaccurate information by those groups and movements, as he was assured that the same social benefits are offered to citizens under the regular social protection scheme. It is important for the Government to dispel such myths and clarify the situation in order to prevent the proliferation of racist and xenophobic movements, as the country’s society has become more exposed to foreign nationals and migrant workers. F. Racism in the media 56. The Special Rapporteur notes that, in the society of the Republic of Korea, the media (written, broadcasted and online) are accessible, independent and offer vibrant coverage of news and issues. He recalls that the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression, in the report on his visit to the country, commended the existence of media pluralism and praised some of the results achieved, which had resulted in one of the highest rates of broadband Internet penetration in the world (see A/HRC/17/27/Add.2 and Corr.1, paras. 87 and 101). 13
