stereotypes, examining the role of power dynamics in such prejudices and
acknowledging shared responsibility for identifying and rejecting antisemitic
tropes. In this regard, the Special Rapporteur notes the guidelines for
policymakers on addressing antisemitism through education 89 and the guidance
and support materials for teacher training on addressing antisemitism in schools,
both published by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization and the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human
Rights.
86. NGOs have and should continue to play an important role in denouncing
antisemitism online and bringing incidents to the attention of lawmakers and the
wider public, relating it to the overarching issues of hate speech and incitement
to violence and terror.
C.
Media
87. Social media companies should take reports of cyberhate seriously, enforce
terms of service and community rules that do not allow the dissemination of hate
messages, provide more transparency in their efforts to combat cyberhate and
offer user-friendly mechanisms and procedures for reporting and addressing
hateful content.
88. They should also report criminal antisemitic behaviour online to relevant
local law enforcement agencies, including expression that constitutes incitement
to discrimination, hostility or violence.
D.
United Nations system
89. The United Nations system has a vital role to play in engaging with Jewish
communities to combat antisemitism. The Secretary-General should consider
appointing a senior-level focal point in the Executive Office of the SecretaryGeneral with responsibility for engaging with Jewish communities worldwide, as
well as for monitoring antisemitism and the response of the United Nations
thereto.
90. Various entities of the United Nations system, including the Office of the
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, UNESCO, the United
Nations Alliance of Civilizations and the Office of the Special Adviser on the
Prevention of Genocide, should enhance their cooperation with relevant human
rights treaty bodies and special procedures mandate holders in order to stimulate
joint action on antisemitism and other forms of hate.
