A/65/295 99. The Special Rapporteur also recommends that human rights training be provided to law enforcement officials, especially immigration officials and border police, so that they may act in conformity with international human rights law when dealing with migrants, refugees and asylum-seekers. Collection of ethnically disaggregated data 100. The collection of ethnically disaggregated data is an essential tool to identify the persons and groups affected by racial discrimination and to better understand the nature and extent of the inequalities they face. The Special Rapporteur therefore recommends that States collect ethnically disaggregated data in order to design appropriate anti-discrimination legislation and policies and monitor their effectiveness. 101. In doing so, the Special Rapporteur recommends that States abide by some key principles, including self-identification of individuals; the right to privacy guaranteeing the consent of the concerned individuals; and the involvement of all concerned groups of individuals in the design and implementation of the exercise. 102. In the context of legal proceedings relating to the commitment of discriminatory acts, the Special Rapporteur recommends that ethnically disaggregated data be used as evidence for proving the existence of racial discrimination. 103. The Special Rapporteur also recommends that adequate human and financial resources be provided to establish or strengthen national institutions, which collect, analyse and disseminate reliable ethnically disaggregated data. Racism and sports 104. Underlining the potential of sport as a means to combat racism and discrimination, the Special Rapporteur recalls the recommendation of his predecessor (see A/HRC/4/19, para. 64) that States exercise particular vigilance with regard to the upsurge in racism in sport, particularly football. 105. He also recommends that States take advantage of mass sports events as valuable outreach platforms to mobilize people and convey crucial messages about equality and non-discrimination. Awareness-raising campaigns spreading the message of tolerance and understanding between communities may indeed be very effective in the context of sports events. 22 10-48481
