A/70/321 Holocaust denial 88. The Special Rapporteur reiterates his absolute condemnation of any denial or attempt to deny the Holocaust and all manifestations of religious intolerance, incitement, harassment or violence against persons or communities based on ethnic origin or religious belief. He calls for the active preservation of the sites which served as Nazi death camps, concentration and forced labour camps and prisons and urges States to take legislative and educational measures to put an end to Holocaust denial (A/69/334, para. 76). Civil society 89. The Special Rapporteur recalls the importance of cooperating closely with civil society and international and regional human rights mechanisms to effectively counter extremist political parties, movements and groups, including neo-Nazis, skinhead groups and similar extremist ideological movements. In particular, the role played by civil society in collecting information, working closely with victims and promoting democratic principles and human rights should be emphasized and the sharing of good practices continue among all relevant stakeholders. The Special Rapporteur welcomes coordination between governmental structures and civil society in order to maximize efforts on anti-discrimination policies. He encourages such coordinated efforts and recommends inclusion of a variety of actors, such as civil society actors, national human rights institutions and the media. He also calls upon national human rights institutions and equality bodies to develop appropriate programmes to promote tolerance of and respect for all and to collect relevant information (A/HRC/23/24, para. 36). The media 90. The Special Rapporteur wishes to stress the positive role played by the media in combating the spread of extremist ideas, in particular in combating stereotypes, promoting a culture of tolerance and playing an integrative role by providing space for ethnic minorities to also have their voice heard ( A/69/334, para. 90). Need for statistics and disaggregated data 91. The Special Rapporteur reiterates his previous recommendations in past reports concerning the need to collect disaggregated data and statistics on racist, xenophobic, anti-Semitic and homophobic crimes in order to identify the types of offences committed, the characteristics of the victims and the perpetrators and whether they are affiliated with an extremist political party, movement or group. Such disaggregated data would enhance a better understanding of the phenomenon and identify effective measures to be taken to address these crimes. Other 92. Finally, the Special Rapporteur, in acknowledging the importance of keeping the issue of glorification of Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance on the international agenda, would like to refer to the 20/21 15-13793
