E/CN.4/1996/72/Add.3 page 12 projects aimed at integration are being carried out, involving housing renovation, school construction, the improvement of health systems, the establishment of recreation centres, etc., in close cooperation with the Social Action Fund (FAS) and the Regional Commission for the Integration of Immigrant Populations (CRIPI). A deputy prefect in charge of urban policy has been appointed to coordinate these activities. In Toulon, the Departmental Unit for Action to Combat Racism and Xenophobia and Anti-Semitism has published a leaflet entitled "White-Black: A Challenge to Be Met" in order to increase young people's awareness of racism. III. ACTION TAKEN BY CIVIL SOCIETY 41. Various associations are attempting to reverse the trend towards manifestations of racism and xenophobia. For example, the Droit et démocratie (Law and Democracy) association organized a very important symposium on the discriminatory aspects of the Pasqua Acts in July 1993. In cooperation with university officials, leaders of associations, journalists, researchers and political experts, the Union of African Workers in France (Union des travailleurs africains en France) sponsored an in-depth discussion on "the new faces of racism and xenophobia" in Europe (a topic which was the subject of a seminar held in August 1994) and carried out a public awareness campaign. The France Libertés: Fondation Danielle Mitterrand association has also become involved in action to combat racism, particularly by publishing a "European passport against racism", which invites the bearer to help combat racism and recalls the main provisions of the laws against racism. This passport has been used by the Council of Europe in its "All Different, All Equal" campaign. Also worthy of mention is the support provided to victims of racism by the International Association of Democratic Lawyers and the International League against Racism and Anti-Semitism. These associations have been discussing ways of changing the law. 42. However, it should be noted that, generally speaking, there is a demobilization of civil society with regard to action to combat racism and racial discrimination. In a survey, the National Consultative Commission on Human Rights has shown that there is a "low level of personal commitment". It notes that "only 27 per cent of the French are prepared to take part in a demonstration and only 24 per cent are willing to join an anti-racist association". 15 43. People seem to be getting used to the atmosphere of xenophobia and they have their eyes turned towards Europe; they want to live with their own kind. As a political figure told the Special Rapporteur, "As a French-speaking African, you surely don't believe that speaking the same language makes us brothers!". And what was the point of mentioning the black skin colour of Cardinal Gantin, Dean of the College of Cardinals, in the press's reporting of the Holy See's decision concerning Monsignor Gaillot? 44. so. This demobilization is taking place in trade unions as well, if not more Once at the forefront of the fight against racial discrimination in 15 p. 52.
