recommendations of former mandate holders, in particular those concerning
the need to demonstrate greater commitment in fighting racism in sport; adopt
preventative, educational and awareness-raising measures; and condemn the
perpetrators of racist incidents, in cooperation with national, regional and
international sports organizations.

racism in sports, international and regional organizations as well as
international, regional and national sports bodies need to continue their
collaboration. The Special Rapporteur considers that sports authorities and
associations should be inspired by some of the positive initiatives highlighted in
the present report and draw upon these good practices to develop their own
frameworks or action plans to fight against racism and other forms of
discrimination in their respective sports.
