A/HRC/20/33/Add.1 On national and ethnic minorities 56. The Special Rapporteur urges the Government to ensure adequate representation of ethnic and national minorities in the Hungarian Parliament. Moreover minority self-governments should be strengthened, including through the allocation of adequate financial, human and technical resources. The Special Rapporteur also recommends that the Government take the necessary measures to ensure that students learning in minority language schools, or studying minority languages in bilingual schools or as a second or foreign language, have sufficient learning hours and access to qualified teachers. He recommends that the Government provide adequate financial resources to bilingual schools. On the situation of the Roma minority Structural and institutionalized discrimination 57. The Special Rapporteur encourages the Government to build upon the richness and diversity of its population to develop a more tolerant and inclusive society. In this regard he strongly recommends that the Government invest in education. School classes which are inclusive and representative of the society’s ethnic and cultural diversity, unbiased schoolbooks aimed at reflecting with objectivity and accuracy the history of minorities, well-trained teachers and human rights courses are in this respect essential to instil a tolerant and respectful mindset from an early age. 58. Racial discrimination, racism and negative stereotypes against the Roma minority within State institutions, including the police and the judiciary, is a reality that Hungary should not deny. The Special Rapporteur urges the Government to develop regular and mandatory human rights training for State agents including within the police and the judiciary, ensuring that such training includes issues related to racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. Efforts should also be made to improve relations between the police and Roma to restore confidence, and allow better reporting of racist acts to the police. Proper and prompt investigation of complaints against police misconduct towards Roma should also be ensured. Employment 59. The Special Rapporteur urges the Government to take all the necessary measures to reduce the high Roma unemployment rate. A first step in this direction is to properly address racial discrimination against Roma in the labour market, and ensure that discriminatory attitudes against the Roma in employment are effectively sanctioned. The Special Rapporteur also recommends that the Government ensure that institutions financed by the State budget employing more than 50 persons and the legal entities in which the State has a majority ownership effectively establish and implement equal opportunities plans and recruit Roma. 60. The Special Rapporteur also urges the Government to ensure decent and qualified jobs for Roma by avoiding addressing their unemployment mainly through public work programmes that have already yielded limited results in reducing the Roma unemployment rate and removing them from poverty and social exclusion. He encourages the Government to adopt more special measures to promote the employment of Roma in both the public and private sectors. 17
