A/HRC/62/56
(o)
Redouble efforts to ensure the effective implementation of all provisions
of ICERD, including through the timely submission of periodic reports and the
implementation of concluding observations of CERD;
(p)
Strengthen and expand education and public awareness campaigns to
counter racist stereotypes, antisemitism, anti-Muslim hatred, anti-Black racism, antiRoma racism and xenophobia, and to promote diversity, including by ensuring that
such topics are integrated into curricula at all stages of education and into the training
of teachers, journalists and public officials;
(q)
Invest in strengthened capacity to collect and disseminate disaggregated
data, including by race, ethnicity, religion, gender, age and migration status, on all
forms of hate crime and hate speech that promote racist and neo-Nazi ideologies, in
order to develop a full understanding of the scope of the problem and to enable the
design and implementation of evidence based laws and policies;
(r)
Regulate the use of artificial intelligence systems to prevent such
phenomena amplifying neo-Nazism and related extremism, particularly through the
automated moderation of online content. Regulatory frameworks should ensure human
oversight of automated decision making and provide for effective remedies where harm
occurs;
(s)
Protect the safety of journalists, human rights defenders, anti-racism
activists and members of targeted communities who speak out against neo-Nazism,
racism and xenophobia, including by addressing online harassment, doxing and threats
of violence;
(t)
Take all necessary and appropriate measures to implement the Durban
Declaration and Programme of Action and the outcome document of the Durban
Review Conference, and engage constructively with the activities of the Permanent
Forum on People of African Descent.
(u)
The Special Rapporteur recommends that other stakeholders, including
civil society organisations, technology companies and academic institutions:
(v)
Continue to facilitate enhanced collaboration among representatives of
different racial, ethnic and religious communities to counter all forms of intolerance
and discrimination, with particular attention to building solidarity across communities
that are targeted by overlapping forms of hatred;
(w) Contribute to the collection and dissemination of disaggregated data on
hate speech that promotes racist and neo-Nazi ideologies and hate crimes, including
data on online manifestations, in order to develop a full understanding of the scope of
the problem and to enable the design and implementation of relevant laws and policies;
(x)
Continue and strengthen work to provide trauma informed support to
victims and survivors of hate crimes and racist and xenophobic hate speech, including
legal aid, psychosocial support and protection from secondary victimisation;
(y)
Continue and enhance work to promote public awareness of
multiculturalism, diversity and tolerance, including through the inclusion of relevant
materials in education curricula, the production of counter narratives and partnerships
with cultural and sporting institutions;
(z)
Technology companies should ensure that their content moderation
policies, recommender systems and generative artificial intelligence tools are designed
and operated in a manner consistent with international human rights standards,
including by conducting and publishing regular human rights impact assessments,
providing meaningful transparency to researchers and civil society and offering
effective remedies to affected users;
(aa) Academic and research institutions should expand independent research
on the evolving tactics of neo-Nazi and other extremist movements, including their use
of digital technologies, and ensure that such research informs the design of preventive
responses by States and other actors.
