A/HRC/32/50 the process.85 In its 2014 annual report, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights noted actions taken in several countries to promote the rights and well-being of non-nationals, including measures adopted in Uruguay to integrate Syrian refugees into society, providing them with access to housing, medical care, Spanish lessons, and cultural lessons that were also provided to school teachers, students and parents in order to also foster acceptance among the local population. E. Complementarity and coordinated sectorial strategies 76. It is necessary to address institutional, political, policy and social reforms simultaneously, in ways that mutually reinforce the incentives for integration and solidarity rather than for exclusion. This should include strengthening the rule of law by adopting and implementing at the national level the relevant international standards, particularly those recognizing and protecting rights of minorities, including non-nationals.86 Perhaps more importantly, it is essential to provide effective judicial, administrative and other remedies to vulnerable groups, including to foreign nationals.87 However, the establishment of these systems is only likely where there are political and social incentives for solidarity fostered through the creation of spaces and opportunities for the development of overlapping or concurrent interests. This process should be founded on human rights education, through innovative tools such as youth dialogues on migration, social inclusion and diversity. 88 Educational curricula should systematically include multicultural and diversity training. Human rights training for justice officials, law enforcement personnel, social partners and educators should put particular emphasis on non-discrimination and on equal rights for all. Targeted public media campaigns and training courses should be designed with the participation of all stakeholders concerned, with a view to sensitizing the population at large to the principles of equality and non-discrimination, and also to combating racism and prejudice in daily life. As part of such media campaigns, the accent should be put on publicizing the positive contributions of vulnerable groups to economic and social welfare as well as the overall negative effects of discrimination and marginalization. F. Review and assessment 77. While generalized frameworks and principled statements calling for tolerance and inclusion are an important and necessary step, there are few concrete sources that correlate intervention strategies, local conditions and rates of success. Only through concrete independent monitoring and critical evaluation — by all actors — can we develop the insights necessary to improve future interventions’ chances of being successful. In this regard, the Special Rapporteur reiterates the recommendation to establish independent national anti-discrimination monitoring bodies with the power to monitor the effectiveness of policies and enforce anti-discrimination legislation, to receive and act upon individual complaints of discrimination and to accompany 85 86 87 88 22 Jennifer Ridgley, “Cities of refuge: immigration enforcement, police, and the insurgent genealogies of citizenship in U.S. sanctuary cities”, Urban Geography, vol. 29, No. 1 (2008), pp. 53-77.
