A/HRC/28/77 violence. Events or situations such as elections or periods of political or social unrest that feature or might exacerbate divisions based on national, ethnic, religious or linguistic identity should be carefully monitored to prevent possible violence. 29. In situations of emerging tensions, authorities should ensure that law enforcement bodies are appropriate and well prepared for the situation at hand, including the deployment of ethnically and religiously mixed personnel to areas of intercommunal tension. Practices such as the establishment of neighbourhood watches or similar mechanisms should be considered in order to identify threats at an early stage and alert law enforcement bodies. 30. Oversight bodies should be established to guarantee a professional and accountable police and security sector, including by ensuring independent examination of policy, programmes, recruitment and other policing and security activities. Oversight bodies should include members of minorities and have the mandate and technical capacity to address complaints of unfair treatment and abuse against minorities. Dedicated and specialist attention should be given to complaints from women belonging to minorities who are victims of sexual and other forms of gender-based violence. 31. Both induction and in-service training of law enforcement personnel in human rights and minority rights are essential elements of appropriate policing practice and should be designed to foster greater tolerance and respect for diversity, including the integration of gender issues in all aspects of the security and policing sectors. Training of law enforcement personnel should build capacities in the areas of early warning, including risk assessment methodologies to ensure that security personnel are well equipped to act autonomously, objectively and in a timely manner to warn about and/or counter the risk of violence. 2. Recommendations to non-State actors 32. Minority community associations, non-governmental organizations and community leaders should be constantly engaged in detecting the early signs of potential violence. They should maintain channels of communication between them and with all relevant authorities in order to identify concerns and threats and allow authorities to respond rapidly to situations of emerging tension, including through the promotion of networks and alliances. They should ensure that those who may experience multiple or intersecting forms of discrimination, such as women, people with disabilities, older persons and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons, as well as young people, are represented in violence prevention initiatives. 33. Community leaders, including traditional, religious, youth and women leaders, should initiate and maintain constructive inter-ethnic and interreligious dialogue and should consider intercultural and interfaith initiatives, including youth initiatives, in order to promote harmonious relations, counter prejudices and misrepresentation about minorities and prevent violence potentially undertaken by terrorist or extremist nationalist, ethnic or religious actors. They should remain attentive to early signs of radicalization within their communities and prevent them from turning into violent extremism and sectarian violence. 34. Non-State actors and business enterprises should, in line with the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights: Implementing the United Nations “Protect, Respect and Remedy” Framework, promote and respect human rights wherever they operate, and refrain from any action which may create tensions between groups or directly or indirectly lead to violence targeted against minority groups, for example regarding land and access to resources or national development projects. Consultations with minorities should take place before pursuing any activity that may result in negative impacts on minorities and their environments or create community tensions. 35. Minority groups and majority communities should give special attention to the situation and perspectives of young people. Youth initiatives should be developed to 7
