A/HRC/23/56/Add.1 and migrants, including irregular migrants. It is important that relevant authorities, such as the police and immigration services, implement the provisions of Refugee Law No. 251 and of international standards. 100. The Special Rapporteur recommends that sustained public campaigns and initiatives be undertaken to change the social perception and public attitude towards refugees and migrants. F. Role of the media 101. The Special Rapporteur encourages the media to take responsibility in the fight against racism and racial discrimination and in the creation of an inclusive and pluralistic society, and refrain from reporting racist, stereotypical, stigmatizing and discriminatory messages and contents against indigenous peoples, Afro-Bolivians and other communities. In this connection, the Special Rapporteur recommends the strengthening of codes of conducts and regulatory compliance of the media to prohibit the propagation of racism, racial hatred, xenophobia, racial discrimination and related intolerance. 102. With regard to the concern expressed by some interlocutors at the incompatibility of anti-racism legislation with the protection of freedom of expression, he emphasizes that the prohibition of the promotion of ideas of racial superiority and of racist propaganda is compatible with the obligation to protect and respect freedom of expression and opinion in accordance with international human rights law. He, however, believes that any incompatibility or otherwise of the Law on Racism and All Forms of Discrimination with the obligation to protect freedom of expression and opinion would need to be determined by the judiciary in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution and in accordance with the State’s obligations under international human rights law. 103. The Special Rapporteur recommends that media organizations enhance the representation of native indigenous campesino peoples and nations, Bolivians of African descent and other marginalized groups and communities in the media, thereby helping to preserve indigenous peoples’ cultures and challenging existing stereotypes and narratives that perpetuate racism and racial hatred. In this regard, the Government should undertake training programmes on the media and communication to help stereotyped and underrepresented groups and communities to make better use of powerful media tools in boosting their representation and making their voices heard. G. Role of education 104. While noting that such important principles as respect for indigenous communities, non-exclusion and the full recognition of intercultural relations and multilinguism are enshrined in the current education system in the Plurinational State of Bolivia, the Special Rapporteur recalls that special attention should be paid to the delivery of educational services to excluded indigenous groups and communities. 105. The Special Rapporteur is concerned at the persisting barriers to access for indigenous peoples to institutions of higher education, and recommends that the Government take further action to support the access to education for indigenous peoples, Afro-Bolivians and other disadvantaged communities and groups. 21
