A/HRC/32/50/Add.1 investigation of alleged cases of racial discrimination and racially motivated misconduct by the police; (b) The school curriculum be revised in order to raise awareness and further promote acceptance of diversity and the contribution of migrants to Greek society from an early age; (c) All national policies regarding discrimination be developed together with representatives from minority groups and the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community; (d) All police officers be instructed that no fee is to be charged for reporting racist, homophobic or transphobic violence, and that victims of such violence should always be informed accordingly about the procedures for reporting crimes; (e) All police officers should be trained on the respect and promotion of human rights, new competences should be given to the specialized units on racism regarding victims of hate crimes based on sexual orientation and gender identity, and the police hotline should be staffed with interpreters (at least in Arabic, Farsi and English); (f) Training for judges and prosecutors should be provided on the application of article 81A of the Criminal Code on hate-motivated offences for which cases of violent incidents on racist and/or homophobic or transphobic grounds are an integral part of investigations and judicial proceedings. Racism and extremism in the political arena 74. The Special Rapporteur would also like to stress the need for substantial verification of pledges of constitutionality and the banning of racist parties. While outlawing a political party will not be sufficient to change the attitudes of its voters, and might even increase their appeal in the eyes of some, the Special Rapporteur recommends that such a step be taken as a clear signal that organizations advocating racial hatred cannot be considered as a legitimate political force. In this respect, the Special Rapporteur recommends that the authorities launch a broad-based public campaign to denounce racist attitudes as contrary to Greek values and interests, promote an inclusive approach towards Greek identity, with respect for diversity, and end impunity for acts of hatred committed by members of extremist violent parties. He also recommends that the police intervene immediately during violent acts committed by supporters or members of extremist violent parties. Refugees and asylum seekers 75. The Special Rapporteur recommends that the authorities: (a) Ensure thorough and independent investigations into alleged human rights violations in the context of border patrols. Furthermore, where medical services are provided by civil society organizations, access to such services should not be jeopardized by police checks; (b) Decriminalize the provision of accommodation to irregular migrants that are homeless, or even to vulnerable applicants such as mentally ill persons and victims of torture; (c) Provide for guarantees for those migrants who do not own residence permits in order for them to feel free to report crimes. 19
