A/77/512 89. The Special Rapporteur recommends that Member States draw on relevant guidance, including general recommendation No. 35 of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and the Rabat Plan of Action on the prohibition of advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence, to effectively balance the regulation of hate speech and the right of freedom of expression within relevant legislative and policy frameworks. 90. The Special Rapporteur also urges States to take concrete actions to ensure the full and effective implementation and dissemination of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action. 91. She reiterates her recommendation that Member States should implement the concrete recommendations that other United Nations bodies, especially the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, have made pertaining to combating racist and xenophobic expression. 92. The Special Rapporteur would like to stress the importance of reliable disaggregated data and statistics on racist and xenophobic crimes. The collection of data regarding the ideological affiliations of perpetrators, as well as the identity of victims, in cases involving suspected or alleged hate crimes is vital for understanding the prevalence of hate incidents and for designing measures to combat them. Data are also vital for monitoring racist crimes and assessing the impacts of measures taken to address such crimes. A lack of consistent and reliable reporting on antisemitic violence and other hate incidents is a widespread issue, and official statistics are often much lower than those reported by non-governmental organizations, which allow direct reporting on the Internet. The discrepancy between official data and unreported incidents reveals the need for more comprehensive, accessible, safe and dependable networks for reporting antisemitic violence. Civil society must continue and strengthen its role in collecting data and working with victims, who may not feel safe reporting incidents to authorities. 93. The Special Rapporteur highlights the need to develop and implement effective, inclusive and comprehensive frameworks complemented by other means to combat racism. In this regard, collaboration with civil society and international, regional and national human rights mechanisms can reinforce the efforts to counter antisemitism and extremist movements and groups, including neo-Nazis. In particular, civil society can play a vital role in collecting information on racist crimes, working with victims and raising awareness. The Special Rapporteur encourages robust coordination between governmental structures and civil society entities to amplify efforts to develop and implement relevant legislation and policies. 94. The Special Rapporteur calls upon Member States to suspend the adoption and promotion of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance working definition of antisemitism and the examples attached to it. In this context, she reminds States that the urgency of combating antisemitism has been a cause that she has consistently championed during her tenure in both thematic and country reports. 95. She urges the United Nations system and Member States urgently to launch an open and inclusive process to identify an enhanced response to antisemitism at and by the United Nations consistently rooted in and supportive of human rights. This process should consider multiple instruments relevant to fighting antisemitism and involve, among others, the communities affected, experts and relevant stakeholders excluded to date, as well as United Nations special procedures mandate holders. She stresses that the elimination of the scourge of 22-22915 19/20
