A/58/313 a tool for broad dissemination of the hate propaganda of racist and xenophobic organizations. Several thousands of sites devoted to this reprehensible activity have been identified. The Special Rapporteur has noted an increase in acts and expressions of racist and xenophobic sentiment on the playing field. Incidents have taken place in particular in European soccer stadiums. The resurgence of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia has manifested itself in physical attacks on Jewish, Arab or Muslim persons or those assumed to be Jewish, Arab or Muslim and on their property, and, in particular, the profanation of their places of worship and cemeteries, which is a source of grave concern. The Special Rapporteur has submitted the following recommendations to the General Assembly: • Member States’ attention should be drawn to the need to take the necessary legislative and judicial action, as well as measures in the area of information and education, in order to ensure that the legitimate struggle against terrorism does not result in or breed new forms of discrimination targeting specific populations, religions, cultures or ethnic groups. • Within the context of implementing the Durban Programme of Action, the General Assembly is invited to focus its attention on the latest forms of discrimination, which affect, in particular, immigrants, refugees and nonnationals and make them particularly vulnerable. • The question of castes, because it is deeply rooted in value systems and cultural and religious values and is pervasive and still practised in the societies concerned, should be given priority in the follow-up to the Durban Conference, in the fight against all forms of discrimination and the promotion of human rights worldwide. • The General Assembly is invited both to draw the attention of all Member States to increased racism in sports and to call on international sports entities to take appropriate measures to eradicate it and cooperate to that end with the relevant human rights mechanisms, in particular the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) and the Special Rapporteur. 3
