A/HRC/53/62 events that may involve a form of discrimination, intolerance or hateful behaviour. Its composition includes experts in the field of hate crimes, discrimination and intolerance. The law also mandates the Office for Equal Treatment and Non-Discrimination to promote and strengthen community projects to prevent racist discourses and social disharmony. 57. A draft bill against racism in all its forms and expressions regulates the duty of public administration personnel to intervene as soon as they have a well-founded suspicion or knowledge of a situation of risk or the existence of racial discrimination. In such cases, public administration personnel must apply appropriate and timely measures to put an end to the situation of racial discrimination. In the event that the case could constitute a criminal offence, in accordance with current regulations, such personnel must inform the Office of the Public Prosecutor or the Office of the Prosecutor for Hate Crimes. The establishment of the Office of the Prosecutor for Hate Crimes has been a step forward in the recognition of hate crimes. However, according to the information provided, human rights organizations have denounced the use of the Office’s mandate to prosecute social protest and to protect the right of freedom of expression of those espousing fascist ideologies, including political parties such as Vox. According to the information provided, this demonstrates that the current Spanish legal framework is insufficient when it comes to condemning the glorification of fascism. Despite the efforts of the Barcelona Hate Crimes Prosecutor to educate and to prepare guidance for civil society organizations, there is limited knowledge among the general population about the legal framework for hate crimes. 58. According to the information provided, the response of Spain has focused on awareness campaigns and programmes combating hate speech through the Spanish Observatory on Racism and Xenophobia. However, its effectiveness is reportedly limited because of a lack of effective coordination with regional governments, civil society organizations and universities. In addition, Spain has reportedly tended to leave the care of victims of discrimination and related crimes in the hands of a few civil society organizations, which lack sufficient funding. The information provided describes a case in which two users of the social media platform Twitter, who had auctioned off the Afro-descendent journalist Mohamed Gerehou on the Internet, were convicted. In that case, the Madrid High Court recognized the moral and psychological damage inflicted on the victim. Center for International Law 59. According to the information provided by the Center for International Law (CenterLaw) in the Philippines, individuals, organizations and human rights defenders have been subject to “red-tagging” by the armed forces, a term defined as to label, brand or stigmatize as or accuse of being left-leaning or a subversive, communist or terrorist. CenterLaw defines red-tagging as a form of incitement to violence and threatening rhetoric against human rights defenders and other critics of the Government. It is reportedly a tactic that puts the life, liberty and security of human rights defenders at risk, hampers legitimate human rights activities and erodes trust between the Government and civil society actors. As observed by the Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial summary or arbitrary executions on his visit to the Philippines in 2007, the vilification, labelling or assumption of guilt by association of human rights advocates and religious groups is among the most important underlying causes of extrajudicial killings in the Philippines. Multiple human rights mechanisms have reportedly expressed their concern about reports of the red-tagging of human rights defenders, activists and other members of civil society, further exposing them to death threats, intimidation, attacks, arbitrary arrest and detention, enforced disappearance and extrajudicial killing. 60. Despite the prevalence of red-tagging in the Philippines, there are reportedly no specific legal provisions that punish the practice. Two bills pending before Congress are aimed at defining and penalizing the crime of red-tagging. 11
