A/HRC/62/56 19. Iraq highlighted efforts to combat violent extremism and protect minority communities in the aftermath of crimes committed by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), including the establishment of a specialized court for crimes committed against community groups and the reconstruction of churches, Yazidi shrines and other places of worship destroyed by ISIL. Iraq reported that monthly stipends are being provided to survivors subjected to ISIL terrorism, and that committees have been formed to facilitate the return of property to displaced communities. Iraq further reported the adoption of a National Strategy to Combat Violent Extremism Leading to Terrorism (2021–2025), developed in accordance with human rights principles and implemented through specialized interministerial subcommittees. Morocco 20. Morocco outlined its constitutional and legislative framework for combating racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. The 2011 Constitution prohibits incitement to racism, hatred and violence, enshrines equality and non-discrimination, affirms the pluralistic nature of national identity, and accords primacy to duly ratified international conventions over domestic law. The Penal Code criminalizes incitement to discrimination and hatred under Article 431-5, while sector-specific legislation reinforces these protections across a range of domains, including the Labor Code, the Press and Publishing Code, the Law on Audiovisual Communication, the Law on Electoral Processes, and legislation governing associations and political parties. Morocco also reported that a bill specifically targeting discrimination, racism and hate speech — including in the digital space — is currently being drafted to strengthen existing criminal provisions and improve victim protection. 21. Morocco highlighted the National Immigration and Asylum Strategy adopted in 2014 as a key policy framework for protecting migrants and refugees, promoting integration and preventing discriminatory conduct, including through special regularization campaigns, expanded access to public services, and the reopening of the Office for Refugees and Stateless Persons. Morocco reported on awareness-raising initiatives targeting racial prejudice against Black people and hate speech on social media, as well as the establishment of "Living Together" clubs in schools to promote a culture of acceptance from an early age. In the area of media and sport, Morocco reported the organization of training sessions for journalists in November and December 2025, and the publication in February 2026 of a Sports Media Guide providing ethical and legal guidelines for responsible coverage ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2030 FIFA World Cup. Morocco acknowledged remaining gaps in disaggregated data collection and reported ongoing efforts to strengthen monitoring and reporting mechanisms. Peru 22. Peru reported that discrimination is criminalized under article 323 of the Criminal Code, including the public promotion or incitement of discriminatory acts. Enhanced penalties reportedly apply where offences are committed by public officials or through information technologies and social media. Peru also highlighted a 2026 court judgment convicting an individual for an act of discrimination meeting the national threshold for criminal sanctions, which it described as reaffirming the commitment of the Public Prosecutor’s Office to combating discrimination. The legislation also covers the public incitement or promotion of discriminatory acts, which is particularly relevant in addressing contemporary forms of hate speech, including in digital environments. 23. Peru highlighted the adoption of the 2025-2030 Multisectoral Strategy “Perú sin racismo” to 2030, which seeks to reduce prejudice, stereotypes and racist practices, strengthen State capacity to prevent and address ethnic and racial discrimination, and improve access to justice. The strategy reportedly involves 27 public institutions and 130 multisectoral interventions, reflecting a coordinated whole-of-government approach. 24. Peru reported on the “Alerta contra el Racismo” service, operated by the Ministry of Culture since 2021, which enables the public to report incidents of ethnic and racial discrimination, receive guidance on available remedies, and access support and follow-up measures. The service is complemented by outreach and awareness-raising activities in public spaces, schools, universities and cultural events aimed at promoting respect for 5
