A/HRC/29/47 The present report includes the recommendations made on the issue by the Special Rapporteur in his previous reports to the General Assembly (A/69/334) and the Human Rights Council (A/HRC/26/50 and A/HRC/23/24) as they remain applicable and valid, despite efforts made to address the problem of glorification of Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. Those recommendations are clustered at the end of the report by sectors for easy reference. The Special Rapporteur is of the view that the current requirement to report twice per year on this specific issue is not an optimal mechanism for fulfilling the obligations of his mandate as set out in General Assembly resolution 69/160 and, considering that there have been no major developments since the presentation of his last report on the issue to the General Assembly and to the Human Rights Council, he is of the view that those obligations would be best served by the submission of a single report annually to the Assembly. The Special Rapporteur believes that other streams of his work could be used to address this important issue in a concrete way, which could allow for more in-depth dialogue and engagement with Governments, non-governmental organizations and relevant actors, thus enabling them to work in a concerted fashion towards the implementation of both existing and future recommendations. 2
