A/HRC/53/62 International Council on Archives 61. According to the information provided by the International Council on Archives, archives are guarantors of authentic and reliable documents, which are necessary for the preservation of historical memory. Such documents include testimonies that are important to the effective application of the principles of truth, justice and reparation and for guarantees of non-repetition. There is also a need to preserve documents that are largely being generated in an electronic environment. 62. The Council expresses the conviction that archives are at the heart of States’ obligations to fulfil the rights of victims because they serve as proof of a crime and provide information that should inform the formulation of policies for educating citizens and preventing future atrocities. To enable archives to contribute their testimonial and informative value in the context of the defence of human rights and the fight against totalitarian ideologies, attention should be paid to the process of collecting and preserving documents. 63. The Council also refers to the work of the pedagogical team of the Directorate of Human Rights Archives at the National Center for Historical Memory of Colombia. This work includes a toolbox for human rights, international humanitarian law and historical memory archive managers, which offers a set of instruments, activities and recommendations aimed at helping communities, civil society organizations and victims to recognize the different means by which their experiences during the armed conflict in that country were recorded and can be used according to their needs. The work of the Directorate also includes a series of publications and documentaries entitled the “Travelling box of historical memory”, which refers to events related to the armed conflict. NGO Monitor 64. According to the information received from NGO Monitor, antisemitism is an ongoing and pervasive problem that must be considered a human rights issue alongside other forms of discrimination. The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance states that antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred towards Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed towards Jewish or nonJewish individuals or their property and towards Jewish community institutions and religious facilities. According to NGO Monitor, singling out and blaming the Jewish State, denying Jews a nation State, delegitimizing the existence of Israel as the Jewish State and disguising antisemitism as the fight against the State of Israel are new examples of antisemitism, which are included in the Alliance’s working definition of antisemitism. 65. NGO Monitor recommends that, in response to the increase in antisemitism and Holocaust denial and distortion worldwide, all States and international institutions adopt the Alliance’s working definitions of antisemitism and Holocaust denial and distortion and enforce them. NGO Monitor calls upon the United Nations to appoint a coordinator on combating antisemitism to encourage the adoption of the Alliance’s working definitions and their implementation. NGO Monitor suggests that non-governmental organizations that incite hatred or violence or that promote racism and xenophobia, including inciting hatred or violence against the State of Israel, its citizens or Jews, should not be eligible for United Nations or government support. Protection of Rights without Borders, Democracy Development Foundation and Transparency International Anti-Corruption Center 66.
