Consideration will be given to how this system can be made compulsory and effective. In this way, cultural and social racism could be gradually checked through education. 143. A group of social scientists and especially experts in the field of education could be given the delicate but not impossible task of looking into ways of ridding school textbooks and history books of racial, ethnic or religious prejudice and stereotypes. Cultural events could also be held which would enable a country’s different ethnic or cultural groups to become acquainted with each other and learn about, understand and appreciate each other’s cultures.

Special consideration should also be given to a mechanism conducive to active, efficient intersectoral cooperation between the various branches and sectors of the Centre for Human Rights. 146. Systematic cooperation, in the form of periodic consultations and joint activities, should likewise be established with the specialized agencies such as the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) (see the Convention on the Rights of the Child), the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the International Labour Office, UNESCO and the Commission on Human Rights. 147. The Special Rapporteur would suggest again that some thought might be given, at the conclusion of the Third Decade to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination, to erecting a memorial in honour of the victims of racism and /...
