A/69/340 Report of the Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance Summary In the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action, particular attention is paid to concerns related to racism, racial hatred, xenophobia, racial discrimination and related intolerance, and a comprehensive framework provided for possible actions to combat such phenomena. In the present report, the Special Rapporteur focuses on the issue of racism and sports. Following a brief introduction (sect. I) and the overview of his activities carried out in the period since the issuance of his previous reports (sect. II), the Special Rapporteur refers in section III to racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance in sports, building upon the work initiated by his predecessors, and illustrates some manifestations of racism in team and individual sports. He then discusses the applicable legislation and standards at the international, regional and national levels, and presents some of the initiatives of sports federations and civil society that focus on preventing and combating racism in sports. 2/21 14-59616
