A/65/207 by law and must be necessary to protect public safety, order, health or morals, or the fundamental rights and freedoms of others, for example in order to prevent such institutions being misused to advance their cause through violence. In addition, States must prohibit any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence. J. Awareness-raising, education or training for public officials and civil servants 37. In resolution 64/164, the General Assembly urged States to ensure that all public officials and civil servants, including members of law enforcement bodies and personnel of detention facilities, the military and educators, in the course of fulfilling their official duties, respect freedom of religion or belief and do not discriminate for reasons based on religion or belief, and that all necessary and appropriate awareness-raising, education or training is provided. In this context, the Special Rapporteur has noted the good practice of a reference guidebook to religious diversity designed to provide members of the police force with information about the different religions and beliefs in a given country and which explains in an accurate and unbiased manner the diversity and specificities of the different religious communities. 30 38. During her missions, the Special Rapporteur has often noticed problems with regard to the freedom of religion or belief of persons deprived of their liberty. She would like to reiterate that the State should provide personnel of detention facilities with adequate training, raising their awareness of and enhancing their sensitivity to their duty to promote and respect international human rights standards for the treatment of prisoners. 31 In addition, special interrogation techniques that are especially degrading for members of certain religions should be immediately revoked. 32 In order to prevent any potential abuse, States should also ensure that detention facilities are the object of intense public scrutiny, and put in place effective complaints mechanisms. 39. In the context of counter-terrorism measures, the Special Rapporteur is concerned about reports that Muslims are regularly subjected to screening of their personal data, house searches, interrogation and arrest solely because of their religious affiliation. 33 She would like to emphasize that profiling practices based on ethnicity, national origin and/or religion regularly fail to meet the requirement to be a proportionate means of countering terrorism and also entail considerable negative consequences that may render these measures counterproductive in the fight against terrorism. 34 __________________ 30 31 32 33 34 10-47047 A/64/159, para. 7.
