93. The Government is encouraged to revise school curricula and school textbooks,
including history books, to ensure that issues related to human, cultural and social
advantages of multiculturalism are reflected. Issues of mutual respect, promotion of
tolerance and also of racism, racial discrimination and xenophobia need to be properly
covered in school curricula and teacher-training courses.
94. The Government should consider launching a process, with the participation of the
media, to reflect on the role and responsibility of the media in the fight against racism and
xenophobia and the promotion of tolerance, with the aim of adopting a deontological code
of conduct.
95. Finally, the Special Rapporteur looks forward to the establishment of an OHCHR
human rights presence within the United Nations Country Team in Moscow and
recommends that the fight against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related
intolerance constitute an important part of its work.
