He further calls for national specialized bodies and national action plans for the elimination of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance to also monitor closely the phenomenon of Nazism, neo-Nazism, and Holocaust denial.

Such disaggregated data would enhance a better understanding of the phenomenon and identify effective measures to be taken to address these crimes. The Special Rapporteur further recalls the importance of collecting disaggregated data as one of the indicators to monitor the progress on the implementation of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the General Assembly on 25 September 2015. 9 J.
