A/HRC/44/58 El Salvador 6. The Government of El Salvador highlighted various constitutional provisions aimed at preventing racial discrimination. Article 3, in particular, entitled all Salvadorans to equal enjoyment of rights, and no restrictions could be established on the basis of nationality, race, sex or religion. The Constitution, as amended in 2014, recognized the rights of indigenous people (art. 63), and the Government affirmed that it planned to adopt policies to enforce the provision accordingly. 7. The Government noted that its Penal Code stipulated the punishment of offences relating to freedom of religion. Article 296 of the Penal Code criminalized acts causing interruption or disruption to the exercise of freedom of religion, or destruction of or damage to objects for worship. The Act on Culture of 2016 (art. 30) guaranteed indigenous people the right to freedom, equality, dignity and life free from discrimination based on the grounds of ethnicity, sex, religion, customs, language or any other conditions. At the local level, six municipalities had adopted ordinances to promote the principle of equality and non-discrimination. One example was the municipal ordinance of Panchimalco that referred to protection against racial discrimination. Honduras 8. The Government of Honduras stated that it had taken measures to fight racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and all other related intolerance. The Constitution prohibited all forms of discrimination (art. 60) and guaranteed the exercise of all religions without prejudice (art. 77, para. 1). The Penal Code stipulated that discriminatory acts based on sex, race, age, class, religion, partisan or political association, or disability constituted criminal offences, punishable by prison time and administrative penalties. Amendments to the Penal Code that would come into effect in May 2020 had been made to strengthen protections against discrimination with respect to employment and the public sector. Discriminatory denial of public service or disqualification from employment was punishable by law and disqualified the convicted person from holding public office. 9. The Government reported that in 2017, it had created the Secretariat for Human Rights as the lead agency to implement public policies related to human rights. 2 It highlighted the Public Policy against Racism and Racial Discrimination for the Comprehensive Development of Indigenous and Afro-Honduran Peoples (2016–2022), approved in 2016, which enabled indigenous and Afro-Honduran peoples to exercise their rights and maintain their identity and diversity. The National Institute of Migration had created a unit on human rights and migrant care management to safeguard migrants. The purpose of the Institute was to promote the human rights of migrants by providing them with immediate and adequate assistance. 10. The Government also reported that its Congress had begun discussions on a draft national law on cybersecurity and protection against acts of hatred and discrimination on the Internet and social networks, in which it intended to include protections against online antisemitism and other racism and intolerance. Israel 11. The Government of Israel stated that victims of all forms of racism suffer from hostility, dehumanization, prejudice and stereotypes, which lead to discrimination and violence. To combat racism, the deconstruction of racial, cultural and religious prejudices should be at the centre of combating all forms of hatred.
