A/55/304 Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance. He assures them that various communications received from them are under consideration and will be reflected in detail in his next report to the Commission on Human Rights. VI. Conclusions and recommendations 44. The developments reported above show that: (a) there has been a resurgence of racist violence, chiefly as a result of the renewed activities of far-right, neo-Nazi and skinhead organizations; (b) the Internet continues to be the preferred medium for incitement to racial hatred and dissemination of racist and xenophobic ideas; and (c) increasingly commonplace everyday racism can be uncovered when detection mechanisms, such as the toll-free number, are introduced. 45. Accordingly, in addition to the workshops already held on the subject, the Special Rapporteur strongly recommends the holding of international consultations at the governmental level with a view to regulating the use of the Internet and harmonizing criminal legislation on use of the Internet for racist purposes. In addition, support should be given to initiatives that use the Internet to create and develop a culture centred on the equal dignity of and respect for the human person without distinction of any kind. 46. The Special Rapporteur would also like to suggest to the General Assembly that it: (a) continue to mobilize public opinion against the various manifestations of racism, racial discrimination and xenophobia; and (b) make Member States and the various organizations aware of the importance of the World Conference to be held in 2001. In that connection, States which have not yet ratified the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination should do so prior to the Conference and set up national institutions for the promotion and protection of human rights, with particular emphasis on combating racism and racial discrimination. States which already have national human rights institutions or commissions should be asked to include in their programmes, if they have not yet done so, and to focus on the task of combating racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. 11
