A/HRC/48/77 grounds. The Government further affirmed its commitment to take necessary policy and legislative measures to combat racism. In that regard, it had adopted the Repeal of Obsolete Laws Act (Act No. 21 of 2018) to abolish laws from the apartheid era that were discriminatory on grounds of race, sex, ethnic origin, colour or economic status. Netherlands 67. The Government of the Netherlands reported that insulting statements and incitement to hatred, discrimination or violence against a group of persons based on their race, religion or beliefs was a punishable offence in its Criminal Code. The case law of the Supreme Court of the Netherlands included cases involving antisemitic statements and denial of the Holocaust. 68. On 27 November 2018, the parliament had endorsed the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance working definition of antisemitism as a non-legally binding definition. Within the national legal system, judges still had discretion to decide where the boundaries and limitations of freedom of expression were. 69. The Government also reported on the establishment of a national coordinator on antisemitism, within the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, and a unit within the Public Prosecution Service that coordinated the bringing to court of criminal cases relating to hate crimes, which included antisemitic offences. The parliament had recently passed several motions calling on the Government to appoint a national coordinator to combat discrimination, racism and antisemitism. The Government was currently analysing the motions and would decide on their implementation later in the year. 70. Locally operated anti-discrimination facilities and the police jointly published an annual report containing all available data with regard to the issue of discrimination, including antisemitic incidents. The Public Prosecution Service also issued reports. In addition, the annual report of the private interest group Centre for Information and Documentation Israel, specifically dedicated to documenting the nature and extent of antisemitic incidents in the Netherlands, was an important source of knowledge. Niger 71. The Government of the Niger stated that there were no neo-Nazis or skinhead groups or any other extremist political parties, movements, ideologies or groups of a racist or xenophobic nature in the country. Regarding the legal framework to prevent extremism, intolerance and xenophobia, the Government referred to article 4 of the Constitution and to article 102 of its Penal Code, which provided for the criminalization of acts of racial or ethnic discrimination, regionalist propaganda and manifestations against freedom of conscience and worship. The Niger further referred to article 2 of Ordinance No. 84-06 of March 1984, which prohibited regional or ethnic associations. Ordinance No. 99-59 of December 1999 relating to the charter of political parties provided that political parties were required to respect the dignity and honour of others and to ban insults. Norway 72. The Government of Norway stated that its population had positive attitudes towards religious minorities. However, surveys also showed that many different minority groups experienced racism and discrimination. In its political platform, the Government reaffirmed its commitment to combat racism, religious discrimination, antisemitism, social control and prejudice based on ethnicity. 73. Prejudice against and hostility and negative attitudes towards Muslims was a real and growing problem in Norway, as it was in many parts of the world where there had been an increase in discrimination against and attacks on Muslims. The threat assessments conducted by the Police Security Service in recent years showed that there had been an increase in the number of right-wing extremists in Norway. Therefore, the Government had recently decided to develop an action plan against discrimination and hatred towards Muslims. Antisemitism and hostile attitudes towards Jews still existed in society in Norway. The Government had therefore renewed its existing action plan against antisemitism for the period 2021–2023. 12
