CERD/C/DZA/CO/15-19 Education and awareness-raising about the Convention 19. The Committee takes note of the human rights training and awareness-raising activities organized by the State party for, among others, trainee judges and law enforcement personnel. The Committee is nevertheless concerned by the persistence of racist stereotypes and by the hate speech that is sometimes directed against the Amazighs, asylum seekers, refugees and sub-Saharan Africans (art. 7). The Committee recommends that the State party step up its efforts in the area of human rights training with a particular focus on action to combat racial discrimination, respect for diversity and cross-cultural relations. It urges the State party to pay particular attention to training for teachers, civil registrars and law enforcement personnel. It furthermore calls on the State party to organize public awareness campaigns on these themes. National human rights institution 20. The Committee notes with concern that the National Advisory Commission for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights has had its accreditation status downgraded from “A” to “B” by the Sub-Committee on Accreditation of the International Coordinating Committee of National Institutions for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights. It regrets the absence of information on follow-up by the Commission to racial discrimination cases filed by individuals or groups, notwithstanding the persistent allegations made concerning discrimination based on ethnicity or nationality (art. 2). The Committee recommends that the State party take all necessary measures to expedite the adoption of the new law on the National Advisory Commission for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights in order to bring it into full conformity with the Paris Principles (General Assembly resolution 48/134). In the light of its general recommendation No. 17 (1993) on the establishment of national institutions to facilitate implementation of the Convention, the Committee recommends that the National Advisory Commission for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights be empowered to review Government policies on protection from racial discrimination and to verify that the legislation is in conformity with the Convention. Human trafficking 21. While taking note of the adoption of Act No. 9-01 of 25 February 2009, which provided for the inclusion of human trafficking as an offence under the Criminal Code, the Committee is concerned by the lack of support services for human trafficking victims, most of whom are non-citizens (arts. 5 and 6). The Committee recommends that the State party take all necessary measures not just to punish the traffickers but also to provide legal and institutional assistance to the victims, in particular non-citizens who do not have a valid residence permit. D. Other recommendations Follow-up to the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action 22. In the light of its general recommendation No. 33 (2009), concerning follow-up to the Durban Review Conference, the Committee recommends that the State party take account of the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action, as adopted by the World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance in September 2001, and also of the outcome document of the Durban Review Conference held in Geneva in April 2009. The Committee requests that the State party include specific GE.13-42646 5
