E/CN.4/1996/72/Add.4 page 21 stressing the importance of the role of the police, as well as to all local authorities, particularly those responsible for education, and to more than 6,000 interested persons and bodies throughout the country. The Group was reconstituted in 1995 and is to submit a report in 1996. B. Other measures 92. Alongside the legislative measures, other measures are being taken to ensure equal opportunity, improve the living conditions of members of ethnic minorities and encourage their integration into British society. 93. There is, for example, an inner cities rehabilitation programme aimed primarily at ethnic minorities. The programme’s objectives are as follows: (a) To encourage an entrepreneurial spirit and the creation of new businesses, by helping existing businesses to develop; (b) To improve employability through educational and training activities and other types of initiative; (c) To improve living conditions by cleaning up abandoned zones, encouraging construction and improving the quality of housing; (d) To restore security to inner cities and make them into places where it is enjoyable to live and work. 94. As optional measures, the Labour Ministry has drawn up a 10-point plan, launched in 1992, to give employers practical advice on how to provide equal opportunities to employees who are members of ethnic minorities. Copies of this plan were sent to 36,500 employers having at least 50 employees. The plan aims at drawing the attention of employers to the need to make equal opportunity a basic principle that is fully integrated into their management practices. 95. In order to facilitate access by ethnic minorities to high-level jobs, the Windsor Fellowship concentrates exclusively on management training for ethnic minority students with excellent university credentials. This training is supported by private enterprises that sponsor the students and can hire them after their training. IV. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS 96. Following his mission, the Special Rapporteur notes that British universalism is increasingly tending to be reduced to the European Union, and the original civilizing and humanist mission of the United Kingdom is being eroded. In order to provide for a fresh look at that mission, the Special Rapporteur reiterates the recommendations contained in his general report (E/CN.4/1996/72), to which the British authorities showed themselves to be responsive at the recapitulatory meeting on 24 November 1995: (a) Educate individuals to accept others;
