E/CN.4/2002/24/Add.1 page 57 drawn from UNESCO’s declarations and programmes on cultural identity, cultural diversity and multiculturalism; thus, through education, there will be a breakthrough in the present situation, which is represented by a so-called multiculturalism policy when in fact the various communities and peoples lead parallel lives while continuing to ignore one another. The Special Rapporteur therefore recommends that the Australian Government should review its policy of multiculturalism, in order to turn it into a channel for the dynamic and harmonious transformation of national society, through education at all levels; (2) The process of reconciliation should be given fresh impetus, taking greater account of the positions of the representatives of the Indigenous peoples; (3) The Native Title Act should be amended in the light of the proposals already made by the Aboriginals in order to enable them to extricate themselves from the extreme poverty afflicting them in their daily lives; (4) Since sport, and Australian football in particular, are activities which bring the various components of the Australian population together, and are a potential vehicle for tolerance and respect between individuals, the Special Rapporteur recommends that the Australian Football Association should initiate a broad campaign against racism and racial discrimination aimed at spectators. This campaign might be modelled on the “Let’s kick racism out of football” campaign initiated in the United Kingdom in 1993 by the Commission for Racial Equality and the Professional Footballers’ Association; (5) Subsidies should be made available to the Alice Springs Aboriginal Development Institute so that the university can be built; (6) The state and territory legislation on the recognition of qualifications should be uniform, and diplomas issued by more overseas universities should be recognized; (7) The Australian Government should accede to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women; (8) The government of the State of Queensland should accelerate compensation procedures for Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders whose wages have been withheld since 1897, through the implementation of the measures for the protection of these peoples; (9) The Australian Government is urgently requested to find a humane solution to the question of the “stolen generation”, whose situation is psychologically and socially blocked and desperate; (10) Lastly, the Special Rapporteur would like to recommend to the Australian authorities that they continue, improve and intensify the efforts already being made to combat racism and racial discrimination against the Aboriginal peoples, in particular by attacking their extreme poverty.
