A/67/326 literacy programmes, including technical and textual Internet literacy; and the development and implementation of educational concepts that counter the spread of racist ideas, hate messages and incitement to racial hatred and violence on the Internet. 62. The Special Rapporteur notes the importance of further examining the link between various manifestations of racism on the Internet and hate crimes committed and, given the lack of adequate data on this issue, recommends that States enhance their efforts to identify, investigate and register such hate crimes. 63. The Special Rapporteur would like to underscore the need for a more comprehensive study of the different dimensions to the problem of racism and the Internet. There are many important developments at the regional and national levels, within the private sector and in civil society that can be highlighted as good practices in combating racial and ethnic hatred and incitement to violence on the Internet. Those practices as well as the linkages between online racial hatred and incitement and racial crimes need further investigation. The Special Rapporteur has prepared the present report as a preliminary examination of the problem of racism and the Internet and proposes to submit in one of his future reports a follow-up study that will provide more depth, wider scope, data and analysis. 22 12-46982
