CCPR/C/BIH/CO/2 the legality of prohibitions to conduct commemorations in the town of Prijedor in May 2012. 20. While welcoming the State party’s efforts to prosecute acts of hate speech and the perpetration of racist attacks, particularly against the Roma, the Committee is concerned at continued reports of racist attacks. The Committee is also concerned at the lack of a specific law that prohibits the establishment of associations that instigate hatred and racist propaganda (arts. 2, 19, 20, 22 and 27). The State party should strengthen its efforts to combat hate speech and racist attacks, particularly against the Roma, by, inter alia, instituting awareness-raising campaigns aimed at promoting respect for human rights and tolerance for diversity. The State party should also strengthen its efforts to ensure that alleged perpetrators of racist attacks are thoroughly investigated and prosecuted and, if convicted, punished with appropriate sanctions, and that the victims are adequately compensated. Furthermore, the State party should enact a law that prohibits the formation of associations that are founded on the promotion and dissemination of, inter alia, hate speech and racist propaganda 21. The Committee recalls its previous recommendations (CCPR/C/BIH/CO/1, para. 24) and reiterates its concern regarding the de facto discrimination of the Roma. The Committee is particularly concerned that Roma children continue to be subjected to the segregated system of mono-ethnic schools, and that they lack opportunities to receive instruction in their languages. The Committee is also concerned at the poor indicators of the Roma in areas of, inter alia, access to housing, health care, employment and participation in the conduct of public affairs (arts. 26 and 27). The Committee reiterates its previous concluding observations (CCPR/C/BIH/CO/1, para. 24) that the State party should take necessary measures to give effect to the linguistic and education rights of the Roma as protected under the Law on the Protection of Rights of Persons Belonging to National Minorities. The State party should strengthen efforts to ensure that Roma children can receive education instruction in their mother tongue. The State party should also take practical measures to improve the rights of the Roma with regard to access to housing, health care, employment and their participation in the conduct of public affairs. 22. The State party should widely disseminate the Covenant, the two Optional Protocols to the Covenant, the text of the second periodic report, the written responses that it has provided in response to the list of issues drawn up by the Committee and the present concluding observations so as to increase awareness among the judicial, legislative and administrative authorities, civil society and non-governmental organizations operating in the country, as well as the general public. The Committee also suggests that the report and the concluding observations be translated into the other official language of the State party. The Committee also requests the State party, when preparing its third periodic report, broadly consult with civil society and non-governmental organizations. 23. In accordance with rule 71, paragraph 5, of the Committee’s rules of procedure, the State party should provide, within one year, relevant information on its implementation of the Committee’s recommendations made in paragraphs 6, 7 and 12 above. 24. The Committee requests the State party, in its next periodic report, due to be submitted on 31 October 2016, to provide, specific, up-to-date information on all its recommendations and on the Covenant as a whole. 6
